That GTA demo isn't about control. The user, not the net, is driving.

That's more like the demos where someone trains on a scene and the neural net can make plausible extensions to the scene as you move the viewpoint. It's more spatial imagination, like the tool in Photoshop that fills in plausible but imaginary backgrounds.

It does handle collisions with the edge of the road. Collisions with other cars don't really work; they mostly disappear. One car splits in half in confusion. The spatial part is making progress, but the temporal part, not so much.
