Supervised learning requires labels. Unsupervised doesn't. Self driving cars use elements of both. This is why companies like Cruise and Tesla are rushing to get basic self driving cars out there. They need driving data.

Fair enough. I guess I'm in the camp that unsupervised learning is of limited utility.

You can get creative about labels. For instance, with known velocity of the car, predict where an object in view of the camera will be 5 frames in the future... This makes all data recorded by the camera effectively labeled, and is actually a useful thing to have.

Human input in normal cars with sensors provides supervision.
