   The Doom demo looks impressive but was it a fine-tuned model? It's the difference between a cool demo and revolutionary tech.

      Shouldn't self-driving be a piece of cake if it works this well for Doom? Or what am I missing?

         The model doesn't have image input capabilities (yet, it seems from the post), so for the Doom demo, a harness is extracting a bunch of structured information from the game (map layout, enemy locations, player ammo, health, etc) and providing it as a massive JSON blob to the model so it can make its decisions. This model _could_ be hooked up to make the decisions for a self-driving car, but it would need to be fed a structured blob of the situation around it, so all the computer vision problems of self-driving are still there. And that's before you get into the confidence and accuracy of this model.
