Nvidia's vision for deep learning AI: Is there anything a computer can't do? ExtremeTech
In line with its chin-out approach to new technologies, massive banners all over the GTC proclaimed that Nvidia's AI software learned to be a better driver than a human in "hours." I assume they are referring to the 3,000 miles of training that Nvidia's DAVENET neural network received before it was used to create the demo video we were shown. The statement reeks of hyperbole, of course, since we didn't see DAVENET do anything especially exciting, or avoid any truly dangerous situations, or display any particular gift. But it was shown navigating a variety of on and off road routes. If it was truly trained to do that by letting it drive 3,000 miles (over the course of 6 months according to the video), that is an amazing accomplishment.
