I was accepted. I am most interested in spending a long time (9 months) learning about autonomous systems. I also like that a single autonomous system, a self-driving car, is the focus. I think this will be more valuable for my learning style than a more academic machine learning course which might tackle many applications, which are probably already mature solutions. I like that self-driving cars are a newer application and the course might actually push the state of the art. As a more esoteric bonus I'm evaluating this kind of learning as a potential replacement for higher education for any children I might have, given ever-increasing costs for brick-and-mortar universities.
