Higher Learning: Taking on the Godzillas of Detroit, Robotics, and Academia
Listen now
Description
Sebastian Thrun, perhaps best known for his work on self-driving cars, Google X, and Google Glass, also leads Udacity, an education platform whose mission it is to democratize higher education for students and professionals alike. He discusses the breadth of his work with the director of the automation science research lab and distinguished professor of New Media Lab at UC Berkeley, Ken Goldberg, also known for his own art and filmography. What do these two have in common? besides being uncommonly hip, a passion for creative problem solving, invention, and thinking on the edge.
