23. Summary and Back to Trigonometry

From Calculus to Trigonometry

By now, you should feel comfortable working with sensor data and using what you know about derivatives and integrals to calculate quantities that interest you when it comes to vehicle motion. These kinds of calculations come up all the time in autonomous vehicle navigation and the more you practice these concepts the better you'll become and building up an understanding of motion and controls.

Next, I want to take a step back from calculus and briefly revisit trigonometry and the idea of motion vectors from the start of this section. Then, you'll get a chance to practice what you've learned on complete trajectory data!
