Decision-Making in Autonomous Driving
Whether it be getting cut off by a Tesla or witnessing a Waymo taxi driving by itself, self-driving cars are becoming ever more present in today’s society. Driving is a task that involves many diverse interactions on the road, requiring full attention to the people and obstructions in the surrounding environment. This begs the question of how exactly an autonomous vehicle can replicate the decision-making of the human brain while driving. The key to tackling this challenge is the Markov decision process.
