A controller for an autonomous vehicle is trained using simulated paths on a roadway and simulated observations that are formed by transforming images previously acquired on similar paths on that roadway. Essentially an unlimited number of paths may be simulated, enabling optimization approaches including reinforcement learning to be applied to optimize the controller.
