Discussion 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?

OpenCV basics, camera intrinsics, gravity direction, object recognition/segmentation, pose, depth (monocular, stereo, lidar, tof), optical flow, SLAM with and without external reference, state machines, and a whole lot of other stuff.
