This is really interesting, but I'd want autonomous cars to be better than humans at driving, not to emulate them.

They need some sort of prefilter to remove any bad driving habits before training begins I suppose.

I imagine with enough training data from enough drivers that bad habits will disappear as noise.

Nvidia is one of the main reasons my computers, I do not want this true of my cars as well. Edit - Is a joke really worth this many downvotes? I mean who hasn't had occasional trouble with Nvidia drivers and games?

"Nvidia is one of the main reasons my computers, I do not want this true of my cars as well." If this was a joke I think the grammatical error led to confusion?

Depends on the "bad habit". A huge number of people speed. How's that going to disappear as noise?

I'd like to believe that would be the case, but I live in Seattle.

The neural net that accurately predicts human control inputs also extracts the relevant features you would want to build a more principled autopilot. For example you could take one of these nets and then for build a speed limit sign locator on top of it without training a whole net for that from scratch. Using that you could then hard code the rules for obeying the speed limit into a more traditional planner.

There are real potential advantages to training networks using human behaviors. For example, the person-to-person communication that takes place while driving might be better understood by machines this way. - Was that an obscene gesture or a thank you wave? - Did the other driver suggest I go forward or tell me to stop? - etc

Wondering if they have to create near collision scenarios in order to train the network :-)

Even if it was trained to drive like a human, it'd be better in many ways: It never gets drunk, doesn't get tired, doesn't get distracted, can drive old people (or anyone) around who shouldn't be driving anymore, etc.

Yeah, but if a computer screwed up like a human we'd never hear the end of it.

Yeah,make sense. But this is the first example I've seen where the network is trained only with driver's input. Has anyone seen this kind of approach before?

Thanks for the reference.

This almost sounds like the line from terminator two.
