yes, I've seen them simulating some stuff, but for have you seen nvidia isaac simulate China's traffic? You have to have some knowledge of how something works to simulate it. Why do you think BYD can simulate its smart factory using Nvidia tools? It's because they already have a factory layout that it is based off.They can simulate it, see nvidia Issac Sim... even unitree g1 robot used Unreal Engine to do simulation for Reinforcement Learning etc....
Years ago back in 2017, OpenAI had a DeepDrive.io that open sourced a bot that learned to drive (trained) inside of GTA, and then drove very well in all of GTA roads, they removed it from github after rockstar threatened a lawsuit
Eventually "virtualization" as in simulated data will have to be the way.... to keep scaling etc.... Google Deepmind said back in 2017 that with AlphaGoZero, it didnt train on any human games and bootstrapped entirely from zero, taught itself tabula rosa etc
A lot of this stuff is really complicated stuff that requires a lot of sensor fusion, which the people in OpenAI has no clue about. There is a reason nobody is working with OpenAI on ADAS. Barely anyone uses nvidia solution on this. You need expertise in the area that you are actually creating AI for
