This comment says it all, beautifully! You just need to put the time and don’t be afraid of failure, the magic will come out sooner than you think:

The people doing this aren't magical geniuses; they've just put the time and work into the subject and have been able to get themselves into a position they can do this all day surrounded by others they can collaborate with.

As with most human endeavors, the trick is to just get started, and not get frustrated and give up when it turns out you don't know anything at first. Some people don't mind starting with a ton of abstract learning about the subject, others prefer trying to accomplish specific tasks, learning the theory along the way.

Read the whole discussion thread here.

If this made you thirsty for “magical” knowledge, to get started you could “surround” yourself with us in Open Source Self Driving Car (OSSDC) Initiative!

We cover AI, computer vision, robotics and more for SDC, in a very open way that a lot of people (everyone) will benefit from.
