No problem, and thanks for getting back to me I really appreciate it. One thing I also read up on was the mathematical aspect, especially for AI. I have long since forgotten my high school math and the calculus and algebra I did at University when I left school. How important is it that I know these concepts if I want to be a self driving car engineer?

There are different roles in such projects. In case of some of them it's not that necessary, but I you'd like to be really good there, then it's better to fresh up your knowledge.

Alright, thank you. Do you have any advice on which projects I should focus on for my portfolio, to get a job in this industry.

It costs some money, but I can really propose you the Self Driving Cars nanodegree of Udacity. That gives a really good overview on this domain.

Ah, okay. At this moment it won't be possible for me to do that, but thank you for answering my questions. For now I'll look for some free resources if there are any.
