[35] As CEO, he grew the company to 160,000 students and 20 employees ...
Udacity is the outgrowth of free computer science classes offered in 2011 through Stanford University. [9] Thrun has stated he hopes half a million students will enroll, after an enrollment of 160,000 students in the predecessor course at Stanford, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, [10] and 90,000 students had enrolled in the initial two classes as of March 2012.
A self-driving car, also known as a autonomous car (AC), driverless car, robotaxi, robotic car or robo-car, [1] [2] [3] is a car that is capable of operating with reduced or no human input. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Self-driving cars are responsible for all driving activities, such as perceiving the environment, monitoring important systems, and controlling ...

The self-driving cars are based on mass-produced car models, such as the Toyota Prius and Hyundai Sonata. Each vehicle is equipped with four proprietary lidars , six radars and from 8 to 12 cameras. The company's semi-solid state lidars can recognize objects as far as 500 meters away and are capable of changing the scanning pattern on-flight.
The impact of self-driving cars on absolute levels of individual car use is not yet clear; other forms of self-driving vehicles, such as self-driving buses, may actually decrease car use and congestion. [7] AVs are anticipated to affect the healthcare, insurance, travel, and logistics fields.
View of the computers in the cargo area of Stanley. The car began as a standard European diesel model Volkswagen Touareg provided by Volkswagen's ERL for the competition. The Stanford Racing Team chose the Touareg for its "drive by wire" control system which could be adapted (and was done so by the ERL) to be run directly from an onboard computer without the use of actuators or servo motors ...
