A neural network system for autonomous control of a self-driving vehicle, SDV, the neural network system comprising: one or more processors; a noise generator; a global position system, GPS, module and one or more memory resources storing a machine learning model that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the neural network system to: establish a destination location in local coordinates relative to the SDV; identify by the GPS module one or more navigation points in a forward operational direction of the SDV; process sensor data from a sensor system of the SDV, the sensor data providing a sensor view of the forward operational direction of the SDV; determine, using the GPS module, a current position of the SDV, wherein the one or more navigation points are computed based on the current position of the SDV and an established route to the destination location; and characterized in that the noise generator is configured to introduce noise into GPS navigation point signals corresponding to the one or more navigation points to generate coarse navigation points, and utilize the sensor data along with the coarse navigation points, to operate acceleration, braking, and steering systems (152, 156, 154) of the SDV to continuously follow the one or more navigation points along the established route to the destination location; wherein the introduction of the noise causes the neural network system to preferentially rely on processing of the sensor data in conjunction with continuously following the one or more navigation points. one or more processors; a noise generator; a global position system, GPS, module and one or more memory resources storing a machine learning model that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the neural network system to: establish a destination location in local coordinates relative to the SDV; identify by the GPS module one or more navigation points in a forward operational direction of the SDV; process sensor data from a sensor system of the SDV, the sensor data providing a sensor view of the forward operational direction of the SDV; determine, using the GPS module, a current position of the SDV, wherein the one or more navigation points are computed based on the current position of the SDV and an established route to the destination location; and characterized in that the noise generator is configured to introduce noise into GPS navigation point signals corresponding to the one or more navigation points to generate coarse navigation points, and utilize the sensor data along with the coarse navigation points, to operate acceleration, braking, and steering systems (152, 156, 154) of the SDV to continuously follow the one or more navigation points along the established route to the destination location; wherein the introduction of the noise causes the neural network system to preferentially rely on processing of the sensor data in conjunction with continuously following the one or more navigation points. establish a destination location in local coordinates relative to the SDV; identify by the GPS module one or more navigation points in a forward operational direction of the SDV; process sensor data from a sensor system of the SDV, the sensor data providing a sensor view of the forward operational direction of the SDV; determine, using the GPS module, a current position of the SDV, wherein the one or more navigation points are computed based on the current position of the SDV and an established route to the destination location; and characterized in that the noise generator is configured to introduce noise into GPS navigation point signals corresponding to the one or more navigation points to generate coarse navigation points, and utilize the sensor data along with the coarse navigation points, to operate acceleration, braking, and steering systems (152, 156, 154) of the SDV to continuously follow the one or more navigation points along the established route to the destination location; wherein the introduction of the noise causes the neural network system to preferentially rely on processing of the sensor data in conjunction with continuously following the one or more navigation points.
