This is very cool and I think if Kevin spends a bit of time learning reinforcement learning it could be amazing.

It seems like a lot of people doing reinforcement learning on video games get bogged down on training on raw pixels only... it would take a tremendous amount of data to make the driver recognise when and where to use certain power ups, however if you encoded this as a variable, wow it could be really cool.

I believe this is fundamentally how we humans learn with so few examples. Other humans "encode features for our brain to track" by telling us how it should be done and what information to prioritise.
