• Abstract: Effective human-vehicle collaboration requires an appropriate un-derstanding of vehicle behavior for safety and trust. Improvingon our prior work by adding a future prediction module, we in-troduce our framework, calledAutoPreview, to enable humans topreview autopilot behaviors prior to direct interaction with thevehicle. Previewing autopilot behavior can help to ensure smoothhuman-vehicle collaboration during the initial exploration stagewith the vehicle. To demonstrate its practicality, we conducted acase study on human-vehicle collaboration and built a prototypeof our framework with the CARLA simulator. Additionally, weconducted a between-subject control experiment (n=10) to studywhether ourAutoPreviewframework can provide a deeper under-standing of autopilot behavior compared to direct interaction. Ourresults suggest that theAutoPreviewframework does, in fact, helpusers understand autopilot behavior and develop appropriate men-tal models

  Concept-wrapper network (i.e., CW-Net) is a method for explaining the behavior of black-box motion planners. We deploy CW-Net on a real self-driving car and show that the resulting explanations refine the human driver's mental model of the car. We anticipate our method could be applied to other safety-critical systems with a human in the loop, such as autonomous drones and robotic surgeons.

  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 a framework that monitors active vehicles using camera images and state information in order to determine whether vehicles are autonomous. Essentially, it builds on the cooperation among vehicles, which share their data acquired on the road feeding a machine learning model to identify autonomous cars. Experiments show it is possible to discriminate the two behaviors by analyzing video clips with an accuracy of 80%, which improves up to 93% when the target state information is available.

  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.
