Professor Thrun changed my life, I and many tens of thousands around the world graduated from his classes, gaining an education that would have been impossible for many of us. I am forever in his debt for his tireless work as an educator and his work on SLAM & Self Driving Cars. Being taught by practitioners at the cutting edge of research like Thrun, Norvig, Ng, & Hinton is the education I dreamed of. I hope that Udacity develops into a full research vehicle and offers its own qualifications, the UKs Open University is a good model for this. His 2015 talk on democratising education is visionary, practical and disruptive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=898S7o9UnPA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=898S7o9UnPA
