Accidents, dead pedestrians, and honking concerts are the main aspects of this livestream, where an AI learns to drive in GTA 5 Online.
In the vast world of GTA 5 Online, the artificial intelligence “Charles” is currently learning to drive. However, Charles is still at the beginning of his career and has a lot to learn. For example, that pedestrians should not be treated like bowling pins or that shadows are not enemies. This makes it even more exciting when the tuned Kuruma speeds through Los Santos, driving other drivers and civilians insane.
Charles against the rest of the (GTA) world
The artificial intelligence Charles received a stream that was actually intended as a live test. Surprisingly for the developer, so many people want to see how the AI behaves in the game at this early stage of development. A later version of Charles is supposed to be able to learn and react to specific situations from “memory”.
In an update that is likely to be released on Tuesday, May 23, Charles is expected to be able to see colors. This will give the AI better driving behavior and “less fear of shadows”. As can be seen in the livestream, there is still a lot of improvement potential in dark corners.
Currently, Charles sees frame by frame and acts accordingly. This works well for a certain time, but often ends in accidents or with run over pedestrians in the current version. The police of GTA 5 do not like this at all, which is why Charles regularly has to deal with wanted levels and must flee from the cops.
The developer has big plans for Charles: The goal is to drive as fast as possible without going off the road or crashing into obstacles. The stream is well received by the viewers. At the current time, the Twitch channel has about 11,000 followers and 2,100 viewers. We link the live stream in this article so you can get your own impression of the AI.
