TLDR
A white-box, interpretable, mathematical model for safety assurance, which the authors call-Sensitive Safety (RSS), and a design of a system that adheres to the safety assurance requirements and is scalable to millions of cars.Abstract:
In recent years, car makers and tech companies have been racing towards self driving cars. It seems that the main parameter in this race is who will have the first car on the road. The goal of this paper is to add to the equation two additional crucial parameters. The first is standardization of safety assurance --- what are the minimal requirements that every self-driving car must satisfy, and how can we verify these requirements. The second parameter is scalability --- engineering solutions that lead to unleashed costs will not scale to millions of cars, which will push interest in this field into a niche academic corner, and drive the entire field into a "winter of autonomous driving". In the first part of the paper we propose a white-box, interpretable, mathematical model for safety assurance, which we call Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS). In the second part we describe a design of a system that adheres to our safety assurance requirements and is scalable to millions of cars.read more

Survey on Scenario-Based Safety Assessment of Automated Vehicles
TL;DR: A novel taxonomy for the scenario-based approach to safety assessment is developed, and all literature sources are classified, so that the existing methods will be compared with each other and, as one conclusion, the alternative concept of formal verification will be combined with the scenario -based approach.

Modeling Vehicle Interactions via Modified LSTM Models for Trajectory Prediction
Shengzhe Dai,Li Li,Zhiheng Li +2 more
TL;DR: A spatio-temporal LSTM-based trajectory prediction model (ST-LSTM) which includes two modifications that embed spatial interactions into L STM models to implicitly measure the interactions between neighboring vehicles and introduces shortcut connections between the inputs and the outputs of two consecutive LSTm layers to handle gradient vanishment.

Between MDPs and semi-MDPs: a framework for temporal abstraction in reinforcement learning
TL;DR: It is shown that options enable temporally abstract knowledge and action to be included in the reinforcement learning frame- work in a natural and general way and may be used interchangeably with primitive actions in planning methods such as dynamic pro- gramming and in learning methodssuch as Q-learning.

Safe, Multi-Agent, Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Driving
TL;DR: This paper applies deep reinforcement learning to the problem of forming long term driving strategies and shows how policy gradient iterations can be used without Markovian assumptions, and decomposes the problem into a composition of a Policy for Desires and trajectory planning with hard constraints.
