• Abstract: This paper presents a LiDAR-based end-to-end autonomous driving method with Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication integration, termed V2X-Lead, to address the challenges of navigating unregulated urban scenarios under mixed-autonomy traffic conditions. The proposed method aims to handle imperfect partial observations by fusing the onboard LiDAR sensor and V2X communication data. A model-free and off-policy deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm is employed to train the driving agent, which incorporates a carefully designed reward function and multi-task learning technique to enhance generalization across diverse driving tasks and scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in improving safety and efficiency in the task of traversing unsignalized intersections in mixed-autonomy traffic, and its generalizability to previously unseen scenarios, such as roundabouts. The integration of V2X communication offers a significant data source for autonomous vehicles (AVs) to perceive their surroundings beyond onboard sensors, resulting in a more accurate and comprehensive perception of the driving environment and more safe and robust driving behavior.

  This paper presents a novel framework for interaction-aware motion planning in dense traffic scenarios. We propose to learn, via deep Reinforcement Learning (RL), an interaction-aware policy providing global guidance about the cooperativeness of other vehicles. The learned policy can reason and guide the local optimization-based planner with interactive behavior to pro-actively merge in dense traffic while remaining safe in case the other vehicles do not yield.
