Our solution replaces the manually designed cost function for motion planning with a learned high dimensional cost map that is naturally interpretable.

• Abstract: While supervised learning is widely used for perception modules in conventional autonomous driving solutions, scalability is hindered by the huge amount of data labeling needed. In contrast, while end-to-end architectures do not require labeled data and are potentially more scalable, interpretability is sacrificed. We introduce a novel architecture that is trained in a fully self-supervised fashion for simultaneous multi-step prediction of space-time cost map and road dynamics. Our solution replaces the manually designed cost function for motion planning with a learned high dimensional cost map that is naturally interpretable and allows diverse contextual information to be integrated without manual data labeling. Experiments on real world driving data show that our solution leads to lower number of collisions and road violations in long planning horizons in comparison to baselines, demonstrating the feasibility of fully self-supervised prediction without sacrificing either scalability or interpretability.

  We propose an ego-centric fully sparse paradigm, named DiFSD, for end-to-end self-driving. Specifically, DiFSD mainly consists of sparse perception, hierarchical interaction and iterative motion planner. Experiments conducted on nuScenes dataset demonstrate the superior planning performance and great efficiency of DiFSD.

  Trajectory prediction plays a vital role in understanding pedestrian movement for applications such as autonomous driving and robotics. Current trajectory prediction models depend on long, complete, and accurately observed sequences from visual modalities. We propose LTrajDiff, a novel approach that treats objects obstructed or out of sight as equally important as those with fully visible trajectories.

  Prior work only learns to estimate a single planning trajectory, while there may be multiple acceptable plans in real-world scenarios. We propose an interpretable neural planner to regress a heatmap, which effectively represents multiple potential goals in the bird's-eye view of an autonomous vehicle. Our systematic evaluation on the Lyft Open dataset shows that our model achieves a safer and more flexible driving performance than prior works.
