Do I like this so much because it's a fantastic bit of science or because it's a fantastic job of doing science communication?!? Probably both. Regardless, awesome work that is worth checking out:)

We've built a simulated driving agent that we trained on 1.6 billion km of driving with no human data. It is SOTA on every planning benchmark we tried. In self-play, it goes 20 years between collisions.

Fun fact related to this thread: Do you know what brought the ReLU activation function back into vogue in AI? It was this paper from Yoshua's group, which was motivated by the observation that ReLU is a better match to real neurons' IO-functions! proceedings.mlr.press/v15/glorot11a 🧠📈 #NeuroAI
