Poisson Process 1: Video 
Course Topic(s): Probability | Discrete Distribution, Poisson | Stochastic processes, Poisson process
He uses the example of the number of cars passing a point to illustrate a Poisson process. This information is then used to gather information that is used to derive the Poisson distribution in the next video.
