The idea of navigating through driving style is also something that needs to be considered while implementing a new range of AVs.
Socially Compliant Driving- It is defined as a predictable behavior where other human and autonomous agents are driving social dilemmas where socially compliant driving is achievable during the Autonomous Vehicles as being the fundamentals in the passenger’s safety and surrounding vehicles as the behaviors can be predictable to enable humans so that the AV’s actions can be understood and can be responded appropriately.
In order to achieve such driving capability, it is needed that the autonomous system is behaving like a normal human being where an intrinsic understanding is achieved in human behavior and also in social expectations of the group.
One idea implemented in using human behavior is by imitating the human policies where they can learn from data (collected through observations of past human behavior and hence, capable of predicting and mimicking the human trajectories) through imitation learning or even the human reward functions can also be learned where social compliance is enabled so that optimal policy can be controlled for best-response in the game.
In my opinion, the classification of such elements in certain groups, helps the future generation to come out with more solutions and use more such observed patterns to come out with as detailed and perfect mathematical models, that can be implemented for AVs to be socially acceptable and be able to navigate through minor gaps and turns in heavy traffic.
The greater the number of observations are recorded; the greater number of average road paths that can be scaled up and fit into the trajectory memories of AVs.
