AI Machine Learns to Drive Using Crowdteaching

This has been the year of the AI machine, and it's been a rapid change. Artificial intelligence has suddenly begun to match and even outperform humans in tasks where we've have always held the upper hand--face recognition, object recognition, language understanding and so on. And yet there are plenty of complex tasks in which AI machines still trail humans. These range from simple housework such as ironing to more advanced tasks such as driving. The reason for the slow progress in these areas is not that intelligent machines can't do these tasks.
