I had a genetically trained neural network driving a car simulation* in qbasick in 1997, and it wasn't "novel" it was quite common back then to combine them. *a very limited one, imagine 2d, no inertia, 5 sensors at 15° each other each reporting distance from the nearest "grass", with the road 20px wide, drawn by hand gray on green and fitting the screen 13 space. network was 5x5 neuron, with weights all part of the gneetic code. car never made past the fourth corner, let alone did a lap.
