Urban autonomous driving is an open and challenging problem to solve as the decision-making system has to account for several dynamic factors like multi-agent interactions, diverse scene perceptions, complex road geometries, and other rarely occurring real-world events. On the other side, with deep reinforcement learning (DRL) techniques, agents have learned many complex policies. They have even achieved super-human-level performances in various Atari Games and Deepminds AlphaGo. However, current DRL techniques do not generalize well on complex urban driving scenarios. This paper introduces the DRL driven Watch and Drive (WAD) agent for end-to-end urban autonomous driving. Motivated by recent advancements, the study aims to detect important objects/states in high dimensional spaces of CARLA and extract the latent state from them. Further, passing on the latent state information to WAD agents based on TD3 and SAC methods to learn the optimal driving policy. Our novel approach utilizing fewer resources, step-by-step learning of different driving tasks, hard episode termination policy, and reward mechanism has led our agents to achieve a 100% success rate on all driving tasks in the original CARLA benchmark and set a new record of 82% on further complex NoCrash benchmark, outperforming the state-of-the-art model by more than +30% on NoCrash benchmark.

With the development of deep representation learning, the domain of reinforcement learning (RL) has become a powerful learning framework now capable of learning complex policies in high dimensional environments. This review summarises deep reinforcem
ent learning (DRL) algorithms and provides a taxonomy of automated driving tasks where (D)RL methods have been employed, while addressing key computational challenges in real world deployment of autonomous driving agents. It also delineates adjacent domains such as behavior cloning, imitation learning, inverse reinforcement learning that are related but are not classical RL algorithms. The role of simulators in training agents, methods to validate, test and robustify existing solutions in RL are discussed.
Knowledge transfer is a promising concept to achieve real-time decision-making for autonomous vehicles. This paper constructs a transfer deep reinforcement learning framework to transform the driving tasks in inter-section environments. The driving m
issions at the un-signalized intersection are cast into a left turn, right turn, and running straight for automated vehicles. The goal of the autonomous ego vehicle (AEV) is to drive through the intersection situation efficiently and safely. This objective promotes the studied vehicle to increase its speed and avoid crashing other vehicles. The decision-making pol-icy learned from one driving task is transferred and evaluated in another driving mission. Simulation results reveal that the decision-making strategies related to similar tasks are transferable. It indicates that the presented control framework could reduce the time consumption and realize online implementation.
Exploration is critical for good results in deep reinforcement learning and has attracted much attention. However, existing multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithms still use mostly noise-based techniques. Very recently, exploration methods
that consider cooperation among multiple agents have been developed. However, existing methods suffer from a common challenge: agents struggle to identify states that are worth exploring, and hardly coordinate exploration efforts toward those states. To address this shortcoming, in this paper, we propose cooperative multi-agent exploration (CMAE): agents share a common goal while exploring. The goal is selected from multiple projected state spaces via a normalized entropy-based technique. Then, agents are trained to reach this goal in a coordinated manner. We demonstrate that CMAE consistently outperforms baselines on various tasks, including a sparse-reward version of the multiple-particle environment (MPE) and the Starcraft multi-agent challenge (SMAC).
Multi-agent interaction is a fundamental aspect of autonomous driving in the real world. Despite more than a decade of research and development, the problem of how to competently interact with diverse road users in diverse scenarios remains largely u
nsolved. Learning methods have much to offer towards solving this problem. But they require a realistic multi-agent simulator that generates diverse and competent driving interactions. To meet this need, we develop a dedicated simulation platform called SMARTS (Scalable Multi-Agent RL Training School). SMARTS supports the training, accumulation, and use of diverse behavior models of road users. These are in turn used to create increasingly more realistic and diverse interactions that enable deeper and broader research on multi-agent interaction. In this paper, we describe the design goals of SMARTS, explain its basic architecture and its key features, and illustrate its use through concrete multi-agent experiments on interactive scenarios. We open-source the SMARTS platform and the associated benchmark tasks and evaluation metrics to encourage and empower research on multi-agent learning for autonomous driving. Our code is available at https://github.com/huawei-noah/SMARTS.
In this paper, we present a safe deep reinforcement learning system for automated driving. The proposed framework leverages merits of both rule-based and learning-based approaches for safety assurance. Our safety system consists of two modules namely
handcrafted safety and dynamically-learned safety. The handcrafted safety module is a heuristic safety rule based on common driving practice that ensure a minimum relative gap to a traffic vehicle. On the other hand, the dynamically-learned safety module is a data-driven safety rule that learns safety patterns from driving data. Specifically, the dynamically-leaned safety module incorporates a model lookahead beyond the immediate reward of reinforcement learning to predict safety longer into the future. If one of the future states leads to a near-miss or collision, then a negative reward will be assigned to the reward function to avoid collision and accelerate the learning process. We demonstrate the capability of the proposed framework in a simulation environment with varying traffic density. Our results show the superior capabilities of the policy enhanced with dynamically-learned safety module.
