GTA V - the best place for training autonomous cars

GTA 5 even after years continues to disclose new aspects and opportunities available to handy gamers. One of the most innovative, fun and useful from the scientific point of view of experiments is learning to drive yourself.

Programmer Harrison Kingsley created Charles - AI for a car in Python. According to the author, so he decided to test the capabilities of the autonomous wheelbarrow in GTA 5.

The reason why GTA 5 was chosen is not one. Since the game includes the open world, and also supports the fashion for managing the time of day, weather, traffic, speed and other factors, you can create many scenarios for the development of the neural network of the car.
