Just as companies including Boom can now build supersonic jets with a small team and limited funds , thanks to advances made possible in simulation, startups like NIO (formerly NextEV) can now keep pace with larger tech concerns with ample funding in developing self-driving software, using simulations of real-world environments including those derived rom games like Grand Theft Auto V.
