Autonomous driving (L4 urban road decision-making)

Transforming urban driving through advanced research design and data-driven decision-making.

A car equipped with sensors is parked on an urban street corner. The vehicle has the label 'Zoox' on it, indicating it is likely an autonomous vehicle. The car features a futuristic design with various mounted sensors on the roof and sides. The street is lined with modern buildings and there is sparse traffic visible in the background.

Data Collection

Gather a diverse dataset of urban driving scenarios, including various traffic conditions, road layouts, and weather conditions. This dataset will be used to train and evaluate the GPT-4 model.

A street scene featuring a row of parked cars along the side of the road with a distinctive white and multicolored SUV equipped with sensors on top, likely a self-driving vehicle. The background shows a modern brick building with large windows.

Model Fine-Tuning

Utilize the OpenAI API to fine-tune GPT-4 specifically for the task of autonomous driving decision-making. This will involve adapting the model to understand and generate appropriate responses to complex driving situations.

A small, futuristic-looking autonomous vehicle is traveling on a paved path through a lush park. The vehicle has a sleek gray exterior with red vertical lights on the rear. Tall trees with green foliage surround the path, and the ground is covered with grass and sparse vegetation.

A street scene featuring parked cars, with a prominent white SUV labeled 'URS' in the foreground. The background showcases a cityscape with notable modern architecture, including a distinctive triangular skyscraper. The scene has an overcast sky, with wet pavement indicating recent rain.

Simulation Environment

Develop a high-fidelity simulation environment that accurately represents urban road conditions. This environment will be used to test the fine-tuned GPT-4 model in various scenarios.

Performance Evaluation

Assess the model's performance in terms of decision-making accuracy, response time, and safety. Compare the results with those of existing autonomous driving systems, including publicly available GPT-3.5-based systems.

A white autonomous vehicle branded with Waymo is parked on a street next to a large, beige building with arched windows. The sky is clear and blue, and streetlights are visible in the background.

Enhanced Decision-Making

The fine-tuned GPT-4 model will demonstrate improved decision-making capabilities in complex urban driving scenarios, leading to safer and more efficient autonomous vehicles.

Advanced Situational Awareness: The model will exhibit better understanding and anticipation of traffic conditions, road layouts, and potential hazards, enhancing its situational awareness.
