Self-driving car systems use reinforcement learning to make their driving decisions.

Is it true that Self-driving car systems use reinforcement learning to make their driving decisions?

Unclear. Several research items describe reinforcement learning being applied to simulated or proposed self-driving control tasks, such as Deep Q-Learning for a simulated car and an RL car-following framework. None establishes that self-driving car systems generally use reinforcement learning to make their driving decisions.
