Computer vision with self driving

I want to get started with computer vision for self-driving cars. My goal is to build a miniature version of a Tesla/autonomous car.
What are the first things I should learn?
I don’t want to get bombarded with a huge list of concepts. I’d rather learn by doing—start with a small practical project and gradually learn the concepts I need along the way.
What would be a good first project or learning path for this?

Einride is putting 500 Tesla Semi trucks on the road across 5 states over the next 2 years

Einride, a Swedish freight tech company, announced on Aug 18, 2026, it's rolling out 500 Tesla Semi trucks across California, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, and Georgia over 24 months, with Amazon named as a customer. They're calling it the largest deployment of its kind. The whole thing is being financed through an unknown third-party lender, and isn't clear if the trucks belong to Einride directly.

I'm curious to see the logistics of such a drastic expansion in autonomous freight vehicles, and how these trucks will be received on the road. What are your thoughts on this?

Let Them Linger? The Surprising Case for Robotaxis at the Curb

Where does a driverless robotaxi go between rides?
A new study — Staging at the Curb: Evaluating the impacts of shared automated vehicle fleet operations under curb usage restrictions — finds that letting AVs consume curb space might actually be the optimal outcome.

Researchers modeled 1,700 shared automated vehicles serving 68,000 daily San Francisco trips. Tying together Autofleet’s commercial fleet simulator, synthetic ridehail demand from Replica and curb availability data from INRIX, they compared several operating models: continuous circling, staging only at free non-residential curbs, access to all legally available curbs and overnight staging.
