Episode notes

The course started as a fairly technical course going fairly deep into driver assistance technology. Around 2013-14, when this topic started to become more popular, I saw an increase in non-engineering students. So over the years, it's become a really holistic course trying to address our topic of vehicle automation.

The story of automated driving often starts with the DARPA Challenges of 2004-07, but for Jan Becker the story starts well before then. On this week's episode, the AV pioneer and founder of Apex AI describes his own path through a tumultuous decade for the technology, and how the class he teaches at Stanford has evolved to include a variety of critical non-technical lessons.
