Artificial intelligence: Parking a car with only 12 neurons

IMAGE: This is the neural net with different layers of interconnected neurons. A naturally grown brain works quite differently than an ordinary computer program. It does not use code consisting of clear logical instructions, it is a network of cells that communicate with each other. Simulating such networks on a computer can help to solve problems which are difficult to break down into logical operations. At TU Wien (Vienna), in collaboration with researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a new approach for programming such neural networks has now been developed, which models the time evolution of the nerve signals in a completely different way.
