We offer the following reserach topic:
Thesis - Machine Learning for the virtual testing of autonomous driving vehicles
What we offer you
Automotive companies are intensively developing automated driving functions and vehicles. Unfortunately, we have already seen severe road accidents involving automated vehicles. Thus, the safety and reliability of autonomous driving vehicles (ADV) need to be tested and verified under different environmental and traffic conditions. But, how to test ADV in a safe way for all critical situations? A naïve approach would be virtual testing of all possible parameter and scenario combinations that influence the ADV sense, plan, and action system. Unfortunately, such testing with a full factorial variation of the parameters is not feasible. In AVL, we are developing methods for the efficient identification of critical scenarios. Performance comparison of the Machine Learning methods developed at AVL Identification of the limitations of the Machine Learning methods developed at AVL Analysing the methods by using cognitive testing methods available in the literature on a publicly available AD stack like Autowave and Apollo
