We will cover things like how Udacity has great production quality and has nice intro courses, but due to their lack of depth and low community engagement, the high costs might not be justified (most of their nanodegrees are around $1,000 currently) But if cost is not a concern, then...

The Learning LabEpisode 9: AI and Visual Effects in Game of ThronesWhat do you get when you combine transformative, future-facing technologies and cutting-edge technical skills, with a record-shattering pop culture phenomenon?
We didn’t know the answer to that question either. But we knew who did!
That’s why, for this episode of The Drawing Board, we spoke with James Hollingworth. We could introduce James by saying that he’s an Animation Technical Director for Australian visual effects company Iloura, but that doesn’t really tell you the whole story. He's worked on two of the most iconic Game of Thrones episodes ever: Battle of the Bastards and The Spoils of War.
2018-04-0400 min硅谷早知道#03 无人车好危险！飞行汽车会不会好一点？有个很老的段子，说大家都被堵在了路上。一个司机不断摁喇叭催前面的车，非常惹人烦。前面的人说：“有本事你飞过去呀！”但有没有可能，我们真能坐上会飞的汽车越过糟糕的路面交通呢？“我在刚加入飞行汽车项目时，觉得这看起来非常遥远。但你学得越多，你就越觉得近在咫尺，而且是无法避免的。” Jake Lussier 说，他是斯坦福博士，2017年夏天开始接触飞行汽车项目。在2017年末，Lussier 开始在硅谷教育创业公司 Udacity 负责飞行汽车课程。这个课程希望能传授给学生制造飞行汽车的知识。Udacity 开设“飞行汽车课程”这件事，对业界影响颇大。因为开设这门课程的正是 Udacity 创始人本人 Sabastian Thrun。他在硅谷举足轻重，曾是 Google登月实验项目 Google X 的创办者，也是 Google 最开始做无人车的元老人物，并因此被称为无人车之父。2015年，他又创办了飞行汽车公司Kitty Hawk（小鹰）。Jake在斯坦福的导师，正是 Sabastian Thrun本人。对于我而言，即使知道已有很多公司已经在研发飞行汽车，但依然觉得离大众非常遥远，更加像是极客们的业余项目。但 Jake 的态度乐观得让我吃惊。我忍不住问他，当他在说飞行汽车时，究竟是在说什么？那种装上轮子的小型直升机算不算是会飞的汽车呢？Lussier是这样解释的：“飞行汽车笼统指那些触手可及，也很安全，普通人可以每天使用的飞行器。” Lussier说。“飞行器”，“普通人”，“每天使用”，这几个关键词说出来依然让人觉得科幻。事实上，很早以前，人类就想要发明出可以飞的汽车。18世纪开始就有人想要发明会滑翔的马车。到1917年，也就是怀特兄弟造出飞机来后不久，有一个叫做 Glenn Curtiss 的人开始试图造会飞的汽车。他因此也被称为飞行汽车之父。不过他显然没成功。1932年，一个叫做 Waldo Waterman 的人也开始设计飞行汽车，并在 1935 年为此创办了相关的公司。他先后一共造了 5 驾原型机，其中两架甚至试飞成功，但因后续资金不足，也不可能有什么市场，因此这家公司不得不以关闭告终。此后每隔几年就会有人想要尝试制造飞行汽车。就连福特汽车的创始人亨利·福特也有这样的梦想。他说：“把我们的话记下来，飞机和汽车结合的产品终将到来。你可能会笑，但它就是终将会到来”。1980年代，波音也做过这样的尝试。但在这段时间中，所有这些尝试的结局都不是很好：不是发生事故车毁人亡，就是最后因为没有实用性而只能大卸八块或被送进博物馆。但现在，为什么硅谷开始抱有乐观了呢？

（文字和音频有所不同）
有个很老的段子，说大家都被堵在了路上。一个司机不断摁喇叭催前面的车，非常惹人烦。前面的人说：“有本事你飞过去呀！”
但有没有可能，我们真能坐上会飞的汽车越过糟糕的路面交通呢？
“我在刚加入飞行汽车项目时，觉得这看起来非常遥远。但你学得越多，你就越觉得近在咫尺，而且是无法避免的。” Jake Lussier 说，他是斯坦福博士，2017年夏天开始接触飞行汽车项目。
在2017年末，Lussier 开始在硅谷教育创业公司 Udacity 负责飞行汽车课程。这个课程希望能传授给学生制造飞行汽车的知识。
Udacity 开设“飞行汽车课程”这件事，对业界影响颇大。因为开设这门课程的正是 Udacity 创始人本人 Sabastian Thrun。他在硅谷举足轻重，曾是 Google登月实验项目 Google X 的创办者，也是 Google 最开始做无人车的元老人物，并因此被称为无人车之父。2015年，他又创办了飞行汽车公司Kitty Hawk（小鹰）。Jake在斯坦福的导师，正是 Sabastian Thrun本人。

Lussier是这样解释的：“飞行汽车笼统指那些触手可及，也很安全，普通人可以每天使用的飞行器。” Lussier说。“飞行器”，“普通人”，“每天使用”，这几个关键词说出来依然让人觉得科幻。
事实上，很早以前，人类就想要发明出可以飞的汽车。
18世纪开始就有人想要发明会滑翔的马车。
到1917年，也就是怀特兄弟造出飞机来后不久，有一个叫做 Glenn Curtiss 的人开始试图造会飞的汽车。他因此也被称为飞行汽车之父。不过他显然没成功。
1932年，一个叫做 Waldo Waterman 的人也开始设计飞行汽车，并在 1935 年为此创办了相关的公司。他先后一共造了 5 驾原型机，其中两架甚至试飞成功，但因后续资金不足，也不可能有什么市场，因此这家公司不得不以关闭告终。
此后每隔几年就会有人想要尝试制造飞行汽车。就连福特汽车的创始人亨利·福特也有这样的梦想。他说：“把我们的话记下来，飞机和汽车结合的产品终将到来。你可能会笑，但它就是终将会到来”。
1980年代，波音也做过这样的尝试。
但在这段时间中，所有这些尝试的结局都不是很好：不是发生事故车毁人亡，就是最后因为没有实用性而只能大卸八块或被送进博物馆。
但现在，为什么硅谷开始抱有乐观了呢？
Lussier 说，一些技术已经成熟。
“你会看到很多技术已经成熟，例如不需要人工太多干预，高度自动化等等，这样的技术几乎都有了。这些需要的是一些AI驱动的智能化程序彼此合作。”
Lussier 觉得无人驾驶汽车也给了人们很多信心。在五年前，也就是2012年左右，即使在硅谷，人们也不觉得无人驾驶汽车会这么快可以上路测试。但现在，Google和很多传统车企的无人车都已上路测试了。
甚至，Lussier觉得，也许会飞的汽车某些方面比无人车都更容易做一些。因为路面总有很多复杂的情况，例如乱跑的小孩，或者奇怪的路牌。但对于飞行器而言，天高海阔，需要的感知部分少了很多。
而且很多无人车上的进展也可以用到飞行汽车上。
“我想这也是另一个我们对飞行汽车进展乐观的原因。” Lussier说。“我刚才提到，5年前无人车的开发状态就是现在飞行汽车的状态。你也许会想，可能我们要再花5年的时间让飞行汽车达到到无人车现在的状态；但就是因为飞行汽车和无人车在技术上有很多重合的地方，飞行汽车其实是从中可以受益很多。”
事实上，这个领域已有很多玩家。
除了 Sabastian Thrun 的 kitty Hawk 之外，这个领域还有很多创业公司，例如获得了包括腾讯在内巨额投资的创业公司 Lilium；中国的亿航；创业了很多年，然后在去年被中国吉利汽车收购的Terrafujia；
独角兽也加入了进来。Uber 在 2017 年春夏之交开了一场叫做 Uber elevate 的大会，希望和其它第三方，包括空客和 NASA、甚至是一些能提供楼顶停机坪的地产商进行合作。
当然，大公司也非常积极。除了刚才我们提到了中国的吉利，在这个领域进行了投资的腾讯，还有飞机制造商空客，投资了Kitty Hawk的 Google，等等。
这些公司想象的应用场景并不相同
Uber 政策主管 Justin Erlich 在接受 TechCrunch 采访时，描述Uber想象的应用场景是这样的：
Uber会飞的汽车更像是打车在空中的延展。这些飞行器将停在城市的那些大楼楼顶。当人们想要用飞行器时，他们可以在手机上预定，然后在指定的楼顶等候飞行器将自己带到离目的地最近的一个楼顶。人们用它来进行短途的，不超过100公里的通勤，例如从旧金山飞到圣何塞，放在中国大概就是在上海上班的人可以住在苏州，天天打一个飞的去上班，或者住在通州的人乘坐这样的飞行器天天去海淀上班。
Uber对飞行器的想象也更加像直升机，只是直升机只有一个螺旋桨，但Uber设想的飞行器能有好几个旋翼，这样就能分担风险。
这大概也是很多人梦寐以求的通勤方式。当我问Jack他所想象的飞行汽车运用场景时，他说的也差不多。
而空客则测试了更多的想法，现在披露出来的有三种。其中一种叫做City Airbus的和Uber想法类似，更像直升机，用于短距离通勤；另外一种叫做Pop-up的，则设想了一种模块化的通勤工具，装上螺旋桨就可以飞，装上轮子就可以在地上跑。除此之外，空客还在硅谷最南段的圣何塞设计一款叫做Vahana的飞行器，这种飞行器只能坐一个人，但是速度很快，可以用于远距离的高速通勤。
空客 CTO Mark Cousin在一次大会上是这样解释的：
有一个事情我坚定相信，那就是在这个领域，我们会看到不同种类的飞行汽车，不同种类的设计。就像汽车一样，没有一种汽车能够满足所有人的所有需求。
尽管技术比以往任何时候都要成熟，也越来越多的厂商加入到这个领域，飞行汽车依然面临很多的挑战。
在同一个演讲中，空客的CTO Mark cousin也列出了一系列的挑战。例如如何实现更高程度的安全；如何能对环境更加友好；如何能让噪音不那么大；是否能使用清洁能源；电池技术是否能有突破；是否能有更加可靠的防撞系统；是否能将整体的成本降低下来。以及，更加重要的是，即使这些都做到的，如何才能说服公众，让他们愿意去尝试飞行汽车。
这同样也是 Jack 和我提到的挑战，但他将公众的接受程度视作为最难的一个挑战。因为其它的挑战通过工程师的聪明才智和努力应该都可以解决，只是时间长短问题。但如何让大众接受，却不是一个工程技术问题，工程师对此束手无策。
甚至连 Elon Musk 也不是太接纳飞行汽车这样的概念。在TED大会上，当他被问到对于飞行汽车什么看法时，他公开说：
我很喜欢会飞的东西。这个很显然，因为我造火箭，所以我喜欢那些会飞的东西。所以我对会飞的东西没有什么固有的偏见。但飞行汽车的挑战在那儿，他们特别吵，会带来很强烈的风。我们这样说好了，如果总有什么东西在你脑袋上方飞，一堆的飞行汽车飞得到处都是，我觉得会让人特别烦躁焦虑。你不会想着说我今天感觉不错，而是回想着那些车轮有没有擦干净，或者他们会不会掉下来把撞到我的头。
下面也附上一些我在网上找到的未来城市中飞行汽车的图片。也欢迎大家留言留评论来告诉我们，你们是否会喜欢这种未来城市和未来交通。

The Learning LabEpisode 8 MotivationBack in episode 3, we explored the trend of gamification in apps. Now, we’re diving deeper into how to engage users with the psychology of motivation. Immersyve recently presented to us about Self-Determination Theory, a framework that explains the basic psychological needs behind high quality motivation. Richard Ryan and Scott Rigby of Immersyve sat down with us to discuss their theory and how it’s relevant in our new ever connected mobile world. They explain how the needs of Competence, Autonomy, and Relatedness can nurture motivation. Finally we explore how we can apply the ideas behind Self-Determination Theory to user expe...

The Learning LabEpisode 7: AI in Pop CultureAs artificial intelligence becomes more mainstream through the adoption of gadgets like Amazon Echo and Google Home, how far off are we from the cinematic worlds created in movies like Her, Blade Runner, or The Terminator? How much realism is behind these famous depictions of tech and artificial intelligence?
To investigate just how “sci-fi” our world may look like in 30 years, we spoke with Kevin Kelly, the founding executive editor of Wired magazine, a futurist who served as Steven Spielberg’s adviser in building the world of Minority Report, and a writer with a very optimistic view of how technology will s...

Siraj RavalHow to Simulate a Self-Driving CarWe're going to use Udacity's car simulator app as an environment to create our own autonomous agent! We'll use Keras to train a convolutional neural network on images from the car's cameras as well as steering angles from human driving. Using just those 2 data points, it'll be able to drive itself on any road.
