There is a difference though - humans understand the surrounding state, computer vision is not quite there. It can recognize things, and in NVIDIA's case directly generates steering commands without going through the intermediate step of building a model.

Humans build models of the world, and such models allow us to predict the future to a little extent, and explain the reasons behind a situation. Humans can intuit the intentions of other drivers and the behavior of other objects. AI can't do that quite as well.

Also, making eye contact and being waved through. Humans are excellent at reading cues such as this.

You've hit on a key insight. Predicting the future (even by a bit) turns out to be a very powerful learning signal for building models of the world.

It won't work on a traditional feedforward neural network but if you have feedback everywhere it appears to work.
