Applied Intuition(@AppliedInt):At this year’s Agentic AI Summit hosted by @BerkeleyRDI, our Chief Scientist, @Wei_ZHAN_ shared some of the cutting edge research he has been leading in the physical AI space. As the industry races to deploy L2++ ADAS with imitation-learning-based E2E, Wei tackled a key question: what if end-to-end autonomy could be trained without imitation at all, relying only on reinforcement learning? An idea that runs against the current status quo. Here are some of his insights 🧵
