Open-source self-driving textbook lets you build an AV system chapter by chapter in Python

Developer 4310sy is writing a free open-source textbook, Autonomous Vehicle Control Beginners Guide, published incrementally on GitHub. It builds a full self-driving system step by step on top of Python simulations, one stage per chapter.
Readable chapters now cover the simulator, vehicle model, sensors, and path-tracking/optimal-control algorithms including Stanley, MPC, and MPPI, with each formula mapped to its implementing code function. Remaining chapters (localization, mapping, route planning) are open as GitHub Issues, and contributors are welcome to join the writing effort.
