"stuff so we also decided to make a curriculum extra special and we decided to do that by building an actual self-driving car and whenever I talked about this internally Udacity people asked me why why..."

"well we'll talk more about what this led to in a little bit let's talk about open source challenges we also got the same question why do this and it was clear to me that for something like self-drivin..."

"again let's use this all these students from around the world to do it and we did have students from all around the world there was over a hundred teams people self organized into these little groups ..."
