Dhruv Parthasarathy you can try SSD Tensorflow very easily (especially if you use my gtarobotics/udacity-sdc Docker image), see the IPython script here, I created to test SSD on driving videos (even streamed directly from YouTube), for self driving cars (SDC) in OSSDC.org:

Vivek Yadav looks like there is a new method, as Akshay Bhat mentioned in his response, and the code is available already, I need to try it and compare it with SSD (on games and real driving videos), would be great to hear your thoughts on this also:
I love when research teams are publishing the code used to generate the results in their papers!
Still all these methods are not enough for full autonomy in SDC.
In the long run, I’m interested in more reliable ones, as I mentioned in my response here:
