Rather than demeaning someone's effort, learn why specific methods are considered appropriate/state-of-the-art when solving certain problems. This is an unbelievably wrong comment. All the Lyapunov and traditional Process control theory in the world won't help you solve autonomous driving. Also regarding "Guarantees and Safety" they don't magically appear out of thin air when you use traditional process control espec…
Obviously, my message was slightly provocative, deep learning methods and classical controls (which by the way are able to quantify robustness to plant uncertainties and noisy signals) are all very useful but shall be used in combination. End-to-end techniques that bundle perception, planning and control in an opaque net are fun to play with (like in this article), it just very sad to see people believing this produc…
But in this case though, any kind of state space control also requires rather precise knowledge of the physical laws that govern the dynamics of the vehicles. When such information is not available, can neural nets do a decent job at mimicking an analytical control algorithm? I think that's an interesting problem worth exploring.
