Autonomous DeLorean drives sideways to move forward
They did most of that back in 2015.[1]  This is version 2.<p>It's interesting what's happening as the control theory people get into machine learning. The controls people don't typically run a neural net as a controller. They use the trained net as a tool for building a controller with known continuity properties. The trouble with pure neural net controllers is that they sometimes do something totally bogus for some data point within the normal input space. That's not OK in control systems.<p>This has all the math of machine learning plus the math of control theory and I don't understand it, although I sometimes look at the papers.<p>[1] <a href="https://news.stanford.edu/2015/10/20/marty-autonomous-delorean-102015/" rel="nofollow">https://news.stanford.edu/2015/10/20/marty-autonomous-delore...</a>
