This Self-Driving AI Is Learning to Drive Almost Entirely in a Virtual World

I don't have to open the doors of AImotive's white 2015 Prius to see that it's not your average car. This particular Prius has been christened El Capitan, the name written below the rear doors, and two small cameras are mounted on top of the car. Inside is where things really get interesting, though. The trunk holds a computer the size of a microwave, and a large monitor covers the passenger glove compartment and dashboard. The center console has three switches labeled "Allowed," "Error," and "Active."
