    ROI talk aside, and long risks aside, as an entrepreneur in SV, I'll be damned if I touch a dollar of Thiel funding. You can be as rational and cynical as you like, but if you even…

    May I ask why this is a "nanodegree"? Is having this qualification likely to improve someone's chances of getting a self-driving engineering position in industry?
