# Vehicle Dynamics ###### tags: `tutorial` `electrical_system` `NTURT` `vehicle_dynamics` ##### Author: @QuantumSpawner :::warning In order to finish this topic, a lot of knowledge from `software group` course is also required, so you'd better check them out first. ::: ## Why learning vehicle dynamics It's pretty obvious, don't you thick? If you want to be part of vehicle dynamics group, you have to learn vehicle dynamics! Of course, learning vehicle dynamics is to control the vehicle. If you have no sense of how the system will react under some states or inputs, it's only a matter of try and error and it will definitely get you nowhere. **You can only control a system if you understand it!!** So it's crucial to learn vehicle dynamics. ## Learning vehicle dynamics Please finish the youtube playlist: [Vehicle Dynamics & Control](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg0L_HZYxP4&list=PLW3FM5Kyc2_4PGkumkAHNXzWtgHhaYe1d). Alternatively, you may checkout the written notes for it: [Notes for Vehicle Dynamics & Control](/DhrvzJAuQn-x0J0QPtG2Ug) :::info Note: There is no designated homework for vehicle dynamics since it's required if you want to proceed to [Introduction to Gazebo](/Mav7viwLRc-VZliwb3-fxA). :::
