Literally every AV company uses deep learning. For ****’s sake, the Udacity Self-Driving Car nanodegree focuses on deep learning! Do you understand how common something has to be for it to get baked into an introductory course on the subject?
From the course description: “Deep learning has become the most important frontier in both machine learning and autonomous vehicle development. Experts from NVIDIA will teach you to build deep neural networks and train them with data from the real world and from the Udacity simulator. You’ll train convolutional neural networks to classify traffic signs, and then train a neural network to drive a vehicle in the simulator!”
