Where are these remote assistant human drivers located (country), and how have they been screened for temporarily “driving” vehicles in those cities (do these humans have American licenses? ). How is all this regulated? Basically, I am curi

I strongly second this. Abu Mostafa has videos and homework for this course too. This course was the one that made a LOT of fundamental things “click”, like, why does learning even work and what are some broad expectations about what we can

It showed greedy, flawed people who _chose_ to leave a possibly capitalistic system (they actually dont discuss the outside world too much) and participate in a totalitarian hell hole as they are enticed with cash. Not out of lack of optio
