Does Knowledge About Perceptual Uncertainty Help an Agent in Automated Driving?

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper examines how agents in automated driving respond to perceptual uncertainty and how providing explicit uncertainty information affects their behavior. Experiments on a proxy driving task show that unreliable perception leads to defensive driving, while incorporating uncertainty data enables the agent to adapt, complete the task faster, and better manage risks.

Correcting Learning-based Perception for Safety

The paper presents a two-step method to correct machine‑learning based perception for safety in autonomous systems. First, it uses offline computation to characterize uncertainties from the ML module via preimages of perception contracts. Then, at runtime, a risk heuristic selects specific states from these uncertain estimates to guide control decisions, reducing safety violations in adaptive cruise control scenarios while adding minimal delay.

What Probing Reveals about Autonomous Driving: Linking Internal Prediction Errors to Ego Planning

arXiv:2606. 31106v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large-scale datasets and fast simulators have enabled improvements in driving policies that appear safe and robust, yet strong performance in nominal scenarios can still mask flawed reasoning and unsafe heuristics.
