Scientists from Darmstadt University in Germany and Intel Labs have developed a new clever method to source visual data from Grand Theft Auto that could then be fed to computers to teach vehicles how to drive autonomously. Although machine learning is enabling computers to quickly pick up new skills, the approach requires large quantities of information to work effectively –  and data could be hard to find sometimes. It takes thousands of hours…
