Anyway, an optimization of an exhaustive search is a slow but assured way of solving a car driver problem. You don&amp;#x27;t need the most accurate simulation for it as Elon says here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucp0TTmvqOE&amp;amp;t=7358 A &amp;quot;brute-force&amp;quot; algorithm (an exhaustive search, in other words) is the easiest way to find an answer to almost any engineering problem. But it often must be optimized before being computed. The optimization may be done by an AI agent based on Neural Nets, or on a Learning Mealy…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1611.01787/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
