• Abstract: Reinforcement learning allows machines to learn from their own experience. Nowadays, it is used in safety-critical applications, such as autonomous driving, despite being vulnerable to attacks carefully crafted to either prevent that the reinforcement learning algorithm learns an effective and reliable policy, or to induce the trained agent to make a wrong decision. The literature about the security of reinforcement learning is rapidly growing, and some surveys have been proposed to shed light on this field. However, their categorizations are insufficient for choosing an appropriate defense given the kind of system at hand. In our survey, we do not only overcome this limitation by considering a different perspective, but we also discuss the applicability of state-of-the-art attacks and defenses when reinforcement learning algorithms are used in the context of autonomous driving.

  We compare two learnable navigation policies: safe and unsafe. The safe policy takes the constraints into the account, while the other does not. We show that the safe policy is able to generate trajectories with more clearance (distance to the obstacles) and makes less collisions while training without sacrificing the overall performance.

  We present a reinforcement learning based approach to autonomous vehicle longitudinal control, where the rule-based safety cages provide enhanced safety for the vehicle as well as weak supervision to the reinforcement learning agent. We show that when the model parameters are constrained or sub-optimal, the safety cages can enable a model to learn a safe driving policy even when the model could not be trained to drive through reinforcement learning alone.

  In safety-critical applications, autonomous agents may need to learn in an environment where mistakes can be very costly. Existing safe reinforcement learning methods make an agent rely on priors that let it avoid dangerous situations. This paper presents an alternative approach inspired by human teaching, where an agent learns under the supervision of an automatic instructor.
