Gigapixel is a high-throughput batched driving simulator with perspective rendering that enables large-scale self-play directly from pixels. We use Gigapixel to train end-to-end driving policies via large-scale self-play directly from pixels; these policies transfer to real-world sensor data through lightweight perception adaptation, without human trajectory supervision.
