难以理解的AI系统很难信任,尤其是当它们在自动驾驶(例如自动驾驶)等安全环境中运行时。因此,有必要建立透明且可查询的系统以提高信任水平。我们提出了一种基于现有的称为IGP2的现有白盒系统的自动驾驶汽车运动计划和预测的透明,以人为中心的解释生成方法。我们的方法将贝叶斯网络与无上下文生成规则相结合,并可以为自动驾驶汽车的高级驾驶行为提供因果自然语言解释。对模拟方案的初步测试表明,我们的方法捕获了自动驾驶汽车行动背后的原因,并产生了具有不同复杂性的可理解解释。

汽车行业在过去几十年中见证了越来越多的发展程度;从制造手动操作车辆到具有高自动化水平的制造车辆。随着近期人工智能(AI)的发展,汽车公司现在雇用BlackBox AI模型来使车辆能够感知其环境,并使人类少或没有输入的驾驶决策。希望能够在商业规模上部署自治车辆(AV),通过社会接受AV成为至关重要的,并且可能在很大程度上取决于其透明度,可信度和遵守法规的程度。通过为AVS行为的解释提供对这些接受要求的遵守对这些验收要求的评估。因此,解释性被视为AVS的重要要求。 AV应该能够解释他们在他们运作的环境中的“见到”。在本文中,我们对可解释的自动驾驶的现有工作体系进行了全面的调查。首先,我们通过突出显示并强调透明度,问责制和信任的重要性来开放一个解释的动机;并审查与AVS相关的现有法规和标准。其次,我们识别并分类了参与发展,使用和监管的不同利益相关者,并引出了AV的解释要求。第三,我们对以前的工作进行了严格的审查,以解释不同的AV操作(即,感知,本地化,规划,控制和系统管理)。最后,我们确定了相关的挑战并提供建议,例如AV可解释性的概念框架。该调查旨在提供对AVS中解释性感兴趣的研究人员所需的基本知识。

There has been a recent resurgence in the area of explainable artificial intelligence as researchers and practitioners seek to make their algorithms more understandable. Much of this research is focused on explicitly explaining decisions or actions to a human observer, and it should not be controversial to say that looking at how humans explain to each other can serve as a useful starting point for explanation in artificial intelligence. However, it is fair to say that most work in explainable artificial intelligence uses only the researchers' intuition of what constitutes a 'good' explanation. There exists vast and valuable bodies of research in philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science of how people define, generate, select, evaluate, and present explanations, which argues that people employ certain cognitive biases and social expectations towards the explanation process. This paper argues that the field of explainable artificial intelligence should build on this existing research, and reviews relevant papers from philosophy, cognitive psychology/science, and social psychology, which study these topics. It draws out some important findings, and discusses ways that these can be infused with work on explainable artificial intelligence.

自动驾驶在过去十年中取得了重大的研究和发展中的重要里程碑。在道路上的自动车辆部署时,对该领域的兴趣越来越令人兴趣,承诺更安全,更生态的运输系统。随着计算强大的人工智能(AI)技术的兴起,自动车辆可以用高精度感测它们的环境,进行安全的实时决策,并在没有人类干预的情况下更可靠地运行。然而,在现有技术中,人类智能决策通常不可能理解,这种缺陷阻碍了这种技术在社会上可接受。因此,除了制造安全的实时决策之外,自治车辆的AI系统还需要解释如何构建这些决策,以便在许多司法管辖区兼容监管。我们的研究在开发可解释的人工智能(XAI)的自治车辆方法上阐明了全面的光芒。特别是,我们做出以下贡献。首先,我们在最先进的自主车辆行业的解释方面彻底概述了目前的差距。然后,我们显示了该领域的解释和解释接收器的分类。第三,我们为端到端自主驾驶系统的架构提出了一个框架,并证明了Xai在调试和调节这些系统中的作用。最后,作为未来的研究方向,我们提供了XAI自主驾驶方法的实地指南,可以提高运营安全性和透明度,以实现监管机构,制造商和所有参与利益相关者的公共批准。

这项工作研究了以下假设:与人类驾驶状态的部分可观察到的马尔可夫决策过程(POMDP)计划可以显着提高自动高速公路驾驶的安全性和效率。我们在模拟场景中评估了这一假设,即自动驾驶汽车必须在快速连续中安全执行三个车道变化。通过观测扩大(POMCPOW)算法,通过部分可观察到的蒙特卡洛计划获得了近似POMDP溶液。这种方法的表现优于过度自信和保守的MDP基准,匹配或匹配效果优于QMDP。相对于MDP基准,POMCPOW通常将不安全情况的速率降低了一半或将成功率提高50%。

Motion prediction systems aim to capture the future behavior of traffic scenarios enabling autonomous vehicles to perform safe and efficient planning. The evolution of these scenarios is highly uncertain and depends on the interactions of agents with static and dynamic objects in the scene. GNN-based approaches have recently gained attention as they are well suited to naturally model these interactions. However, one of the main challenges that remains unexplored is how to address the complexity and opacity of these models in order to deal with the transparency requirements for autonomous driving systems, which includes aspects such as interpretability and explainability. In this work, we aim to improve the explainability of motion prediction systems by using different approaches. First, we propose a new Explainable Heterogeneous Graph-based Policy (XHGP) model based on an heterograph representation of the traffic scene and lane-graph traversals, which learns interaction behaviors using object-level and type-level attention. This learned attention provides information about the most important agents and interactions in the scene. Second, we explore this same idea with the explanations provided by GNNExplainer. Third, we apply counterfactual reasoning to provide explanations of selected individual scenarios by exploring the sensitivity of the trained model to changes made to the input data, i.e., masking some elements of the scene, modifying trajectories, and adding or removing dynamic agents. The explainability analysis provided in this paper is a first step towards more transparent and reliable motion prediction systems, important from the perspective of the user, developers and regulatory agencies.

我们解决了由具有不同驱动程序行为的道路代理人填充的密集模拟交通环境中的自我车辆导航问题。由于其异构行为引起的代理人的不可预测性,这种环境中的导航是挑战。我们提出了一种新的仿真技术,包括丰富现有的交通模拟器,其具有与不同程度的侵略性程度相对应的行为丰富的轨迹。我们在驾驶员行为建模算法的帮助下生成这些轨迹。然后,我们使用丰富的模拟器培训深度加强学习(DRL)策略,包括一组高级车辆控制命令,并在测试时间使用此策略来执行密集流量的本地导航。我们的政策隐含地模拟了交通代理商之间的交互,并计算了自助式驾驶员机动,例如超速,超速,编织和突然道路变化的激进驾驶员演习的安全轨迹。我们增强的行为丰富的模拟器可用于生成由对应于不同驱动程序行为和流量密度的轨迹组成的数据集,我们的行为的导航方案可以与最先进的导航算法相结合。

Traditional planning and control methods could fail to find a feasible trajectory for an autonomous vehicle to execute amongst dense traffic on roads. This is because the obstacle-free volume in spacetime is very small in these scenarios for the vehicle to drive through. However, that does not mean the task is infeasible since human drivers are known to be able to drive amongst dense traffic by leveraging the cooperativeness of other drivers to open a gap. The traditional methods fail to take into account the fact that the actions taken by an agent affect the behaviour of other vehicles on the road. In this work, we rely on the ability of deep reinforcement learning to implicitly model such interactions and learn a continuous control policy over the action space of an autonomous vehicle. The application we consider requires our agent to negotiate and open a gap in the road in order to successfully merge or change lanes. Our policy learns to repeatedly probe into the target road lane while trying to find a safe spot to move in to. We compare against two model-predictive control-based algorithms and show that our policy outperforms them in simulation.

Explainable AI (XAI) is widely viewed as a sine qua non for ever-expanding AI research. A better understanding of the needs of XAI users, as well as human-centered evaluations of explainable models are both a necessity and a challenge. In this paper, we explore how HCI and AI researchers conduct user studies in XAI applications based on a systematic literature review. After identifying and thoroughly analyzing 85 core papers with human-based XAI evaluations over the past five years, we categorize them along the measured characteristics of explanatory methods, namely trust, understanding, fairness, usability, and human-AI team performance. Our research shows that XAI is spreading more rapidly in certain application domains, such as recommender systems than in others, but that user evaluations are still rather sparse and incorporate hardly any insights from cognitive or social sciences. Based on a comprehensive discussion of best practices, i.e., common models, design choices, and measures in user studies, we propose practical guidelines on designing and conducting user studies for XAI researchers and practitioners. Lastly, this survey also highlights several open research directions, particularly linking psychological science and human-centered XAI.

With the rise of AI and automation, moral decisions are being put into the hands of algorithms that were formerly the preserve of humans. In autonomous driving, a variety of such decisions with ethical implications are made by algorithms for behavior and trajectory planning. Therefore, we present an ethical trajectory planning algorithm with a framework that aims at a fair distribution of risk among road users. Our implementation incorporates a combination of five essential ethical principles: minimization of the overall risk, priority for the worst-off, equal treatment of people, responsibility, and maximum acceptable risk. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first ethical algorithm for trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles in line with the 20 recommendations from the EU Commission expert group and with general applicability to various traffic situations. We showcase the ethical behavior of our algorithm in selected scenarios and provide an empirical analysis of the ethical principles in 2000 scenarios. The code used in this research is available as open-source software.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have been widely used to perform real-world tasks in cyber-physical systems such as Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS). Ensuring the correct behavior of such DNN-Enabled Systems (DES) is a crucial topic. Online testing is one of the promising modes for testing such systems with their application environments (simulated or real) in a closed loop taking into account the continuous interaction between the systems and their environments. However, the environmental variables (e.g., lighting conditions) that might change during the systems' operation in the real world, causing the DES to violate requirements (safety, functional), are often kept constant during the execution of an online test scenario due to the two major challenges: (1) the space of all possible scenarios to explore would become even larger if they changed and (2) there are typically many requirements to test simultaneously. In this paper, we present MORLOT (Many-Objective Reinforcement Learning for Online Testing), a novel online testing approach to address these challenges by combining Reinforcement Learning (RL) and many-objective search. MORLOT leverages RL to incrementally generate sequences of environmental changes while relying on many-objective search to determine the changes so that they are more likely to achieve any of the uncovered objectives. We empirically evaluate MORLOT using CARLA, a high-fidelity simulator widely used for autonomous driving research, integrated with Transfuser, a DNN-enabled ADS for end-to-end driving. The evaluation results show that MORLOT is significantly more effective and efficient than alternatives with a large effect size. In other words, MORLOT is a good option to test DES with dynamically changing environments while accounting for multiple safety requirements.

与人类驾驶相比,自动驾驶汽车有可能降低事故率。此外,这是自动车辆在过去几年中快速发展的动力。在高级汽车工程师(SAE)自动化级别中,车辆和乘客的安全责任从驾驶员转移到自动化系统,因此对这种系统进行彻底验证至关重要。最近,学术界和行业将基于方案的评估作为道路测试的互补方法,减少了所需的整体测试工作。在将系统的缺陷部署在公共道路上之前,必须确定系统的缺陷,因为没有安全驱动程序可以保证这种系统的可靠性。本文提出了基于强化学习(RL)基于场景的伪造方法,以在人行横道交通状况中搜索高风险场景。当正在测试的系统(SUT)不满足要求时,我们将场景定义为风险。我们的RL方法的奖励功能是基于英特尔的责任敏感安全性(RSS),欧几里得距离以及与潜在碰撞的距离。
