The rising demand for workers experienced in autonomous vehicle engineering has resulted in an unconventional training ground for new talent. Online education startup Udacity launched a self-driving car engineer “Nanodegree” program on Oct. 27. The nine-month, $2,400 online course is aimed at equipping computer science and engineering workers with the necessary skills to develop autonomous vehicles. Fourteen automakers and technology companies, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Nvidia and Elektrobit, have partnered with Udacity to help shape the curriculum and gain early access to graduates of the program.
