I thought that pretty much every self driving algorithm in production was based on machine learning of some sort.
Earlier Tesla self-driving software used search-based planning and conventional optimization alongside neural networks. Tesla has publicly demonstrated A* in its path planning work.
In most cases it’s only the object recognition systems that use machine learning. I know that Tesla was talking about using non-deterministic AI for the decision making as well, but it’s a worry if they’re already doing it.
