Result description
AI is currently used in automated driving for supporting tasks like image recognition. For safe autonomous driving, it will be impossible to program all systems with hand-written code especially when the world around the autonomous vehicle becomes more complex, such as in urban situations where there are much more different actors around the vehicle than in highway situations. Therefore we studied the use of (hybrid) AI for the complex task of Decision Making and in PRYSTINE we were able to demonstrate a proof of concept of a hybrid AI set-up for Decision Making in autonomous vehicles
Proof of concept for a scalable set-up for AI-based Decision Making for highly automated vehicles. We demonstrated the results in defined highway and urban scenarios using FUSION-AI based algorithms in dedicated HW, in combination with a traffic state prediction system. This traffice state prediction functions as an additional external sensor (looking at the traffic state ahead, so beyond the field of view of the vehicle.

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
Current stage is that we managed to show proof of concept for a scalable AI set-up using Inverse Reinforcement Learning in defined highway and urban use cases. More research is needed. We have chosen Inverse Reinforcement Learning (IRL) for the Decision Making task. This is at a low TRL-level, mainly due to its complexity and required computation power. We learned that it is a promising way forward but that it requires a lot of data and a lot of computation power in order to develop this into higher TRL levels.
