• Abstract: This paper investigates how end-to-end driving models can be improved to drive more accurately and human-like. To tackle the first issue we exploit semantic and visual maps from HERE Technologies and augment the existing Drive360 dataset with such. The maps are used in an attention mechanism that promotes segmentation confidence masks, thus focusing the network on semantic classes in the image that are important for the current driving situation. Human-like driving is achieved using adversarial learning, by not only minimizing the imitation loss with respect to the human driver but by further defining a discriminator, that forces the driving model to produce action sequences that are human-like. Our models are trained and evaluated on the Drive360 + HERE dataset, which features 60 hours and 3000 km of real-world driving data. Extensive experiments show that our driving models are more accurate and behave more human-like than previous methods.

  Vision-based end-to-end driving models trained by imitation learning can lead to affordable solutions for autonomous driving. We study how to guide the attention of these models to improve their driving quality by adding a loss term during training. In contrast to previous work, our method does not require these salient semantic maps to be available during testing time.

  We present CIL++, which improves on CILRS by both processing higher-resolution images using a human-inspired HFOV as an inductive bias and incorporating a proper attention mechanism. We propose to replace CILRS with CIL++ as a strong vision-based pure end-to-end driving baseline supervised by only vehicle signals and trained by conditional imitation learning.

  We propose PPGeo (Policy Pre-training via Geometric modeling), an intuitive and straightforward fully self-supervised framework curated for the policy pretraining in visuomotor driving. We aim at learning policy representations as a powerful abstraction by modeling 3D geometric scenes on large-scale unlabeled and uncalibrated YouTube driving videos. In the first stage, the geometric modeling framework generates pose and depth predictions simultaneously, with two consecutive frames as input. In the second stage, the visual encoder learns driving policy representation by predicting the future ego-motion and optimizing with the photometric error based on current visual observation only.

  Nonobjective driving experience is difficult to model. In this paper, we propose a FeedBack Loop Network (FBLNet) which attempts to model the driving experience accumulation procedure. Under the guidance of the incremental knowledge, our model fuses the CNN feature and Transformer feature that are extracted from the input image to predict driver attention.

  Calibrating a driving model (DM) makes the simulated driving behavior closer to human-driving behavior. Conventional DM-calibrating methods do not take into account that the parameters in a DM vary while driving. We propose a DM-calibration method for measuring human driving styles to reproduce real car-following behavior more accurately.
