Its a no-brainer for me that at some point our cars will have the ability to drive themselves.

Every time I act on a fear, I feel disappointed in myself. I have a lot of fear. If I can quit all fear in my life and all guilt, then I tend to be much, much more living up to my standards. I've never seen a person fail if they didn't fear failure.

In 50 years, there will be only 10 institutions in the world delivering higher education and Udacity has a shot at being one of them.

I have a strong disrespect for authority and for rules. Including gravity. Gravity sucks.

The Jetsons had them in the 1960s. They were the defining element of 'Knight Rider' in the 1980s: cars that drive themselves. Self-driving cars appear in countless science fiction movies. By Hollywood standards, they are so normal we don't even notice them. But in real life, they still don't exist. What if you could buy one today?

I've developed my passion for cars that drive themselves from being stuck in traffic for many, many, many hours of my life. I don't know what it adds up to, but I feel like I've lost a year or two just in traffic. That's big to me. That's a lot of time, a lot of money that I just lose on the road.

That's what Google taught me. Aim higher. Udacity is my playground - to radically experiment and find out. I've seen the light.
