What Do You Expect for Your AV? the 2nd Workshop on Behaviors of Autonomous Vehicles in Ambiguous Driving Scenarios

Abstract

Human drivers are being gradually replaced by highly automated driving systems, and this trend is expected to continue. Alternatives should be available if driving algorithms are incapable of resolving ambiguous driving scenarios. What occurs if an autonomous vehicle follows a vehicle traveling below the posted speed limit? Should the autonomous vehicle cross the leading vehicle or maintain a safe distance? We must have solutions to address such situations. The way an autonomous vehicle responds to a variety of ambiguous driving scenarios is crucial for legal and safety reasons. To improve future road safety and convenience, this workshop aims the enhancement a framework to develop various ambiguous driving scenarios and plausible actions of AV in each of them. The results of this workshop will be an aid to scientists in their strategic policymaking and algorithm design for AVs responses to ambiguous driving scenarios. © 2023 Owner/Author.
