• Abstract: To make safe transitions from autonomous to manual control, a vehicle must have a representation of the awareness of driver state; two metrics which quantify this state are the Observable Readiness Index and Takeover Time. In this work, we show that machine learning models which predict these two metrics are robust to multiple camera views, expanding from the limited view angles in prior research. Importantly, these models take as input feature vectors corresponding to hand location and activity as well as gaze location, and we explore the tradeoffs of different views in generating these feature vectors. Further, we introduce two metrics to evaluate the quality of control transitions following the takeover event (the maximal lateral deviation and velocity deviation) and compute correlations of these post-takeover metrics to the pre-takeover predictive metrics.

  Our approach formulates the union of the two tasks as a trajectory refinement problem. To tackle this unified task, we design a refinement transformer that infers the presence, pose, and multi-modal future behaviors of objects. In our experiments, we observe that ourmodel outperforms the state-of-the-art on Argoverse 2 Sensor and Open dataset.

  This work investigates the state-of-the-art trajectory forecasting model Trajectron++ which we enhance by incorporating a smoothing term in its attention module. This attention mechanism mimics human attention inspired by cognitive science research indicating limits to attention switching. We evaluate the performance of the resulting Smooth-Trajectron++ model and compare it to the original model on various benchmarks.

  One of the critical factors that quantifies the safe takeover transition is takeover time. Previous studies identified the effects of many factors on takeover time, such as takeover lead time, non-driving tasks, modalities of the takeover requests (TORs) and scenario urgency. We used eXtreme Gradient Boosting to predict takeover time using a dataset from a meta-analysis study.

  This study focuses on the development of contextual, semantically meaningful representations of the driver state. We conduct a large-scale real-world controlled data study where participants are instructed to take-over control from an autonomous agent. These take-over events are captured using multiple driver-facing cameras, which when labelled result in a dataset of control transitions and their corresponding take-over times (TOTs) After augmenting this dataset, we develop and train TOT models that operate sequentially on low and mid-level features produced by computer vision algorithms operating on different driver-facing camera views.

  We advocate for predicting both the individual motions as well as the scene occupancy map. We propose a Scene-Actor Graph Neural Network (SA-GNN) which preserves the relative spatial information of pedestrians. On two large-scale real-world datasets, we showcase that our scene-occupancy predictions are more accurate and better calibrated than those from state-of-the-art motion forecasting methods.
