Lesson Overview

This lesson is taught by Peter Norvig.

Peter Norvig is a true expert in robotics, artificial intelligence, and computer science. Back before Udacity even existed Peter and Sebastian co-taught a course on self-driving cars. The popularity this course generated when they put it online was a big part of the decision to start this company. Peter is also a writer and his essay Teach Yourself Programming in 10 Years is something I would highly recommend to new programmers.

In this lesson you will learn about "search problems" and several algorithms to solve them.

One particular search problem is especially relevant to self driving cars: finding the best route from point A to point B. When this lesson is over you will take everything you've learned in this course and actually implement a Google-maps style route planner.
