  In the past few years, we have observed a huge supply-demand gap for
autonomous driving engineers. The core problem is that autonomous driving is
not one single technology but rather a complex system integrating many
technologies, and no one single academic department can provide comprehensive
education in this field. We advocate to create a cross-disciplinary program to
expose students with technical background in computer science, computer
engineering, electrical engineering, as well as mechanical engineering. On top
of the cross-disciplinary technical foundation, a capstone project that
provides students with hands-on experiences of working with a real autonomous
vehicle is required to consolidate the technical foundation.
