Self-driving car based on game

In the future, if you are wondering why your Waymo self-driving car is driving is driving erratically and keeps stopping in front of prostitutes, it might be because its software was trained using Grand Theft Auto V.

Apparently developers have worked out that there are not enough hours in a day to clock the real-world miles needed to teach cars how to drive themselves, so they drafted in Grand Theft Auto V.

Last year, scientists from Darmstadt University of Technology in Germany and Intel Labs developed a way to pull visual information from Grand Theft Auto V. Now researchers are deriving algorithms from GTAV software that is been tweaked for use in the burgeoning self-driving sector.
