The Power of Simulation in Self-Driving Cars
I heard about companies doing self-driving car stuff that were experimenting with using simulations of driving in cities. I don't know if this ended up actually being useful, but I thought it was a cool approach. So they basically had to adjust the results of the simulator to take into account some physical reality that wasn't quite captured in simulation. Yeah, that's right. And you can use a model to basically fine tune. So you take the prediction from the simulated outcome, you took some small amount of data from the real world and you just ran a simple model that can do a correction. Oh, cool. But as far as I can tell, the self-driving companies aren't using
