Abstract

Self-driving vehicle is a popular and promising field in artificial intelligence. Conventional architecture consists of multiple sensors, which work collaboratively to sense the units on road to yield a precise and safe driving strategy. Besides the precision and safety, the quickness of decision is also a major concern. In order to react quickly, the vehicle need to predict its next possible action, such as acceleration, brake and steering angle, according to its latest few actions and status. In this paper, we treat this decision-making problem as a regression problem and use deep gaussian process to predict its next action. The regression model is trained using simulation data sets and accurately captures the most significant features. Combined with rule-based method, it can be used in Torcs simulation engine to realize successful loop trip on virtual roads. The proposed method outperforms the existing reinforcement learning methods on the performance indicators of time consumption and the size of data volume. It may be useful for real road tests in the future.
