Introduction
With the advancement of autonomous driving, many autonomous driving (AD) stacks are aiming at SAE level 4. However, even level 4 AD systems still encounter corner cases (CCs) and will disengage once they cannot solve the situation. To tackle these CCs will be an essential problem in autonomous driving. Therefore, it is crucial for the continuous development of AD systems to detect, collect, and eventually solve these CCs. In the light of this, world models provide a possibility to detect and to predict these CCs by predicting the near future based on current and previous vehicle states and actions.
Description
In the project, you will develop a framework for corner case detection in AD using existing world models. Furthermore, you will investigate the performance of the world models based on their input/output modalities and prediction horizons.
The project can be described with the following tasks:
