Autonomous cars learn from Grand Theft Auto

Under a high pressure to rollout the autonomous cars as soon as possible, the companies don’t have enough hours to teach the cars how to drive themselves and hence have shifted their attention to the legendary video game Grand Theft Auto V. GTA is one of the simulation platforms which is being used extensively to test and train the machines. According to Alain Kornhauser, a Princeton University professor, the game ” is the richest virtual environment that we could extract data from.” These hyper-realistic video games generate data that’s very similar to the real world situations and hence can be used by the AI to train the cars.
