Self-Aware Trajectory Prediction for Safe Autonomous Driving
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Trajectory prediction is one of the key components of the autonomous driving software stack. Accurate prediction for the future movement of surrounding traffic participants is an important prerequisite for ensuring the driving efficiency and safety of intelligent vehicles. Trajectory prediction algorithms based on artificial intelligence have been widely studied and applied in recent years and have achieved remarkable results. However, complex artificial intelligence models are uncertain and difficult to explain, so they may face unintended failures when applied in the real world. In this paper, a self-aware trajectory prediction method is proposed. By introducing a self-awareness module and a two-stage training process, the original trajectory prediction module's performance is estimated online, to facilitate the system to deal with the possible scenario of insufficient prediction function in time, and create conditions for the realization of safe and reliable autonomous driving. Comprehensive experiments and analysis are performed, and the proposed method performed well in terms of self-awareness, memory footprint, and real-time performance, showing that it may serve as a promising paradigm for safe autonomous driving.
