Cooperative Driving:

We tackle the problem of autonomous driving in complex & competitive mixed-autonomy environments where autonomous vehicles interact with vehicles driven by humans. Formally, we model this problem as a partially-observable stochastic game and train reinforcement learning agents that cooperate with each other and sympathize with human-driven vehicles. Our autonomous agents learn general latent representations that enables them to coordinate in novel environments. For more details about each paper, please refer to the paper’s individual website:
