#2While true I don't think this driving problem is used as an example for something you should use ML for rather an example to show how you could apply it.

Nevertheless, it is impossible to say why a 'neural network' would be better than some other model function with a large number of parameters. It's true, there are some significant successes achieved with NNs, but there is not a lot of work separating necessities from contingencies. Basically, a lot of it is trial and error.

#5The approach they show in the end - it's still machine learning though? Exploring a space and finding parameters to optimize for a loss function (speed around the track), just not deep learning with neural nets.

#6I think links like this are really helpful. Too often I suffer from the (common on HN) mindset of, "I know nothing about this field, but I'm intelligent enough to know this is stupid". Posts like this are not only interesting, but give me a small dose of humility.

#7Yes ML is overkill in this case, now test it with sensor noise, track obstacles, and the simple polynomial version might break down

#8If only there were some rigorous mathematical frameworks we could use for dealing with uncertainty.

And doing the track the fastest.

Where have I heard that before?
