<p>"In the very first class Thrun taught through Udacity’s online platform, more than 160,000 students enrolled from more than 190 countries. The eight-week “Introduction to Artificial Intelligence” course was completely free for students, and those who passed the final exam were issued a certificate of completion from Stanford University."</p>
