自动驾驶的伦理和社会问题英语作文Ethical and Social Implications of Autonomous DrivingThe advent of autonomous driving technology has revolutionized the transportation industry, promising a future where cars can navigate without human intervention. This technological advancement has sparked a multitude of discussions surrounding the ethical and social implications of this transformative innovation. As we move closer to a world where self-driving vehicles become a reality, it is crucial to examine the complex issues that arise and consider the impact on individuals, communities, and society as a whole.One of the primary ethical concerns surrounding autonomous driving is the issue of liability and accountability. When a traditional, human-operated vehicle is involved in an accident, the responsibility can be clearly assigned to the driver. However, in the case of autonomous vehicles, the question of who is responsible becomes more complex. Is it the manufacturer of the vehicle, the software developer, the vehicle owner, or the passenger? This ambiguity raises concerns about the potential for legal battles and the need for clear policies and regulations to address liability in the event of an accident.Furthermore, the ethical dilemma of the "trolley problem" becomes particularly relevant in the context of autonomous driving. The trolley problem is a thought experiment that presents a scenario where a runaway trolley is headed towards a group of people, and the only way to save them is to divert the trolley onto a track where it will kill one person instead. In the case of autonomous vehicles, this scenario becomes more complex as the car's onboard systems may need to make split-second decisions that could result in the loss of life. Should the vehicle prioritize the safety of the passengers over pedestrians or vice versa? How should the vehicle's decision-making algorithm be programmed to address such ethical conundrums?Another significant concern is the potential impact of autonomous driving on employment. The transportation industry, particularly the taxi, ride-sharing, and trucking sectors, employs millions of people worldwide. The widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles could lead to the displacement of these workers, raising concerns about job loss and the need for retraining and reskilling programs to help those affected transition to new careers.Additionally, the implementation of autonomous driving technology raises questions about privacy and data security. Self-driving cars are equipped with a vast array of sensors and cameras that collect vast amounts of data about the vehicle's surroundings, the driver'sbehavior, and the passengers' movements. This data could be vulnerable to hacking or misuse, potentially compromising the privacy and security of individuals. Robust data protection policies and cybersecurity measures will be crucial to address these concerns.Furthermore, the deployment of autonomous vehicles may have significant implications for urban planning and infrastructure development. As the transportation landscape evolves, cities will need to adapt their infrastructure to accommodate self-driving cars, including the integration of dedicated lanes, traffic signals, and charging stations. This shift could also impact the design of public spaces, the allocation of parking spaces, and the overall flow of traffic within urban environments.Another important consideration is the potential impact of autonomous driving on social equity and accessibility. While self-driving technology has the potential to provide mobility options for individuals who may have difficulty driving, such as the elderly or those with disabilities, it also raises concerns about the accessibility and affordability of these vehicles, especially for marginalized communities. Ensuring that the benefits of autonomous driving are equitably distributed across all segments of society will be a crucial challenge.Finally, the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles may havebroader societal implications, such as the impact on public transportation systems, the reduction of traffic congestion, and the environmental consequences of transportation. As self-driving cars become more prevalent, it will be essential to carefully consider these broader societal impacts and develop policies and strategies to address them.In conclusion, the emergence of autonomous driving technology presents a complex array of ethical and social challenges that must be carefully navigated. From issues of liability and accountability to the impact on employment and social equity, the successful integration of self-driving vehicles into our transportation system will require a comprehensive and collaborative approach involving policymakers, industry leaders, and the public. By addressing these concerns proactively, we can work towards a future where the benefits of autonomous driving are realized while mitigating the potential risks and ensuring a more equitable and sustainable transportation landscape.。

自动驾驶汽车的轨迹跟踪控制邵毅明; 陈亚伟; 束海波【期刊名称】《《重庆交通大学学报(自然科学版)》》【年(卷),期】2019(038)008【总页数】6页(P1-6)【关键词】车辆工程; 自动驾驶; 模型预测; 轨迹跟踪【作者】邵毅明; 陈亚伟; 束海波【作者单位】重庆交通大学交通运输学院重庆400074; 重庆交通大学机电与车辆工程学院重庆400074【正文语种】中文【中图分类】U469.79轨迹跟踪控制是实现车辆自动驾驶的基础。
目前大多数自动驾驶汽车的轨迹跟踪控制算法都是基于假设车辆在低速稳定工况下行驶的情况,没有考虑到高速行驶及地面附着力不足等状况[1-4]。
当高速行驶的车辆在紧急转向或低附着路面急速转弯时,轮胎附着力往往达到饱和,侧偏力接近附着极限,容易出现前轴侧滑失去转向能力或者后轴侧滑而甩尾的险情。
如果车辆在满足侧偏、滑移等动力学约束情况下,快速准确的沿期望轨迹行驶,则能避免此类险情的发生。
笔者针对现有轨迹跟踪控制器在车速较高时跟踪效果不理想这一问题,以车辆四自由度车辆动力学模型为基础,结合轮胎魔术公式和模型预测理论,考虑轮胎侧偏角对车辆稳定性的影响,设计了线性时变模型预测控制器,并基于该控制器进行了仿真分析。
仿真结果表明:该控制器在车速较高时仍能平稳准确地跟踪参考轨迹,具备一定的实际应用价值。
1 车辆动力学及轮胎模型1.1 车辆动力学模型在进行轨迹跟踪控制之前,首先要建立车辆的动力学模型。
车辆是一个复杂的非线性系统,在保证模型尽可能准确的同时,要对其进行适当简化,故在建立模型之前做如下假设[5-8]:1)假设车辆没有俯仰和侧倾运动;2)不考虑悬架垂直运动;3)忽略空气动力学影响;4)认为汽车行驶过程中轮胎特性及回正力矩不变。
根据以上假设,笔者将非线性的车辆动力学模型简化为能反映纵向速度、横向速度、横摆角速度及前轮转角的四自由度车辆模型,如图1。
图1 车辆四自由度模型Fig. 1 Vehicle four-degree-of-freedom model根据牛顿第二定律和力矩平衡公式,可得如下方程:(1)(2)F′x2-Fx3+Fx4)(3)惯性坐标系OXYZ中质心平面运动方程为:(4)(5)在车辆坐标系中沿x轴和y轴轮胎受到的纵向力Fxi和横向力Fyi,它们与轮胎侧偏力Fci及轮胎纵向力Fli之间存在一定关系,其关系式为Fxi=Flicos δ-Fcisin δ(6)Fyi=Flisin δ+Fcicos δ(6)由于轮胎侧偏力Fci和轮胎纵向力Fli与轮胎侧偏角αi、垂直载荷Fzi、路面摩擦系数ui、滑移率κi有关,可由多参数的函数表示:Fli=fl(αi,κi,ui,Fzi)(8)Fci=fc(αi,κi,ui,Fzi)(9)结合式(1)~(9),即可得车辆非线性动力学模型,其模型由如下微分方程表示为:(10)式中:为系统状态量,系统输入为u=[δf]。

There are tremendous potential upsides that have me looking forward to an autonomous future on the roads. However, there are also daunting risks and challenges that cannot be ignored. In this essay, I will examine the key pros and cons of autonomous vehicles.The AdvantagesIncreased Safety and Fewer AccidentsOne of the primary benefits trumpeted by proponents is that self-driving cars could dramatically reduce traffic accidents and fatalities. Human error is estimated to cause over 90% of crashes each year. By taking the driving responsibilities away frompeople, autonomous vehicles could prevent many of the accidents stemming from distracted, impaired, or aggressive driving. With precise sensors and reaction times far exceeding human capabilities, self-driving cars can potentially prevent millions of tragic losses of life.Improved Mobility for ManyAnother big potential upside is greater mobility and independence for elderly individuals, children, and those with disabilities who cannot drive traditional vehicles themselves. Self-driving cars could provide freedom and convenience by turning everyone into a pedestrian who can simply walk to a waiting autonomous ride whenever needed.Reduced Congestion and EmissionsSince self-driving cars can drive much more efficiently by maintaining optimal speeds and safe distances, traffic jams could be reduced substantially. With less stop-and-go driving, carbon emissions would also decrease meaningfully. Autonomous vehicles could also potentially allow for higher occupancy per car, further reducing environmental impacts.Increased Productivity and ConvenienceIf we no longer have to focus on driving, we could use that transit time for more productive tasks like working, reading, or entertainment. The daily commutes that now feel like wasted time could be reclaimed. We would also gain the convenience of being able to summon a self-driving car to pick us up and drop us off directly at our desired locations without having to drive there ourselves.The Risks and ChallengesSafety Concerns and Technical LimitationsWhile autonomous vehicles are being developed to increase safety, there are also valid safety worries surrounding self-driving car technology. Even with extensive testing, it is impossible to fully predict how the artificial intelligence systems will handle every potential scenario and edge case on the roads. Software glitches, sensor failures, and cyber hacking of autonomouscars all present real dangers that are difficult to fully secure against.Job Losses in Transportation IndustryThe trucking and ride-sharing industries employ millions of drivers who could lose their jobs if self-driving vehicles become widespread. While new jobs may emerge, there could be substantial economic disruption and workforce displacement inthe short-term at least. There are also secondary jobs like parking attendants that may disappear.Legal and Ethical DilemmasDetermining legal liability in accidents involving self-driving cars is an unresolved complex issue. There are also deep ethical questions around how the autonomous driving systems should be programmed to handle unavoidable hazard situations where harming someone is inevitable. Should the cars prioritize the lives of pedestrians or passengers? These are profound ethical challenges that need to be worked through.Privacy and Security RisksSelf-driving cars will be continuously transmitting data while mapping and recording details about their surroundings. This raises privacy concerns about companies potentially tracking individuals' locations and movements without consent. There are also cyber-security risks of this data being hacked or stolen by malicious actors.Expensive Implementation and Upfront CostsPerfecting self-driving technology requires tremendous capital investment in research, development, testing, and building new manufacturing capabilities. The upfront costs forindividuals to purchase autonomous vehicles once available may be so high that it could limit widespread early adoption to only the very affluent. There are also potentially massive infrastructure upgrade costs for cities to reconfigure streets and transportation networks for self-driving cars.My TakeawayIn weighing the pros and cons, I am cautiously optimistic but also believe we must be pragmatic about the obstacles ahead. The safety benefits and increased mobility could genuinely be life-changing for many. However, I worry that the challenges around job displacement, legal liability, and cyber risks may be underestimated and could hinder full implementation. Robust regulations and public-private partnerships will likely be needed to successfully manage this profound technological transition.Self-driving cars feel inevitable long-term, but there will be speed bumps along the way. As a society, we must thoughtfully contemplate the best paths forward to capture the positive potential of autonomous vehicles while mitigating the risks. It is an exciting yet complicated new frontier in transportation and mobility. If we proceed prudently and address the concerns transparently, I believe self-driving cars can tremendously improve our way of life in the decades ahead.篇3The Benefits and Potential Risks of Self-Driving CarsAs technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, one area that has seen significant progress in recent years is the development of autonomous vehicles, also known as self-driving cars. These cutting-edge vehicles have the potential to revolutionize the way we think about transportation, offering a range of benefits that could improve safety, efficiency, and accessibility on our roads. However, as with any new technology, there are also potential risks and concerns that must be carefully considered.One of the most promising benefits of self-driving cars is their potential to significantly reduce the number of accidents caused by human error. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), human error is responsible for a staggering 94% of all traffic accidents in the United States. With their advanced sensors, cameras, and algorithms, autonomous vehicles are designed to make smarter and more consistent decisions than human drivers, potentially reducing the number of accidents caused by factors such as distracted driving, impaired driving, and reckless behavior.In addition to improving safety, self-driving cars could also increase mobility and accessibility for individuals who are unable to drive due to age, disability, or other limitations. This could have a profound impact on the lives of many people, allowing them to maintain their independence and freedom of movement without relying on others for transportation.Another potential benefit of autonomous vehicles is their ability to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion. By communicating with each other and with smart infrastructure, self-driving cars could coordinate their movements more efficiently, reducing the need for stopping and starting, and potentially decreasing travel times and fuel consumption.Despite these promising benefits, there are also valid concerns and potential risks associated with the widespread adoption of self-driving cars. One of the most significant concerns is the issue of cybersecurity. As these vehicles become increasingly connected and reliant on complex software systems, they could potentially be vulnerable to hacking or cyber attacks, which could have serious consequences in terms of safety and privacy.Another concern is the potential for job losses, particularly in industries such as transportation and delivery services. Whileautonomous vehicles could create new job opportunities in areas like software development and maintenance, there is a risk that many existing jobs could be automated, leading to significant economic disruption.There are also ethical and legal questions that need to be addressed, such as how self-driving cars will be programmed to handle complex situations involving moral dilemmas, and who will be held responsible in the event of an accident involving an autonomous vehicle.As we navigate these benefits and potential risks, it is crucial that the development and deployment of self-driving cars be carefully regulated and monitored. Governments, manufacturers, and other stakeholders must work together to establish clear guidelines and standards for testing, certification, and operation of these vehicles, prioritizing public safety and accountability.Additionally, it is important to address the societal and economic impacts of this technological shift, ensuring that appropriate training and support are provided for workers who may be affected by job losses, and that the benefits of autonomous vehicles are distributed equitably across different communities and socioeconomic groups.In conclusion, the advent of self-driving cars represents a significant technological advancement with the potential to transform our transportation systems and improve safety, efficiency, and accessibility on our roads. However, it is essential that we approach this innovation with caution and thoughtfulness, carefully weighing the benefits against the potential risks and addressing the ethical, legal, and societal implications. By doing so, we can ensure that the integration of autonomous vehicles into our society is a smooth and responsible transition that benefits everyone.。
无人驾驶的好处和潜在危险英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Benefits and Potential Dangers of Self-Driving CarsAs technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, one of the most exciting and potentially transformative developments on the horizon is the advent of self-driving vehicles. While the idea of a car navigating roads and making complex decisions without human input may seem like science fiction, companies like Tesla, Google, Uber, and traditional automakers are pouring billions into research and development to make driverless cars a reality. As a student who will be entering the workforce in the next few years, I can't help but wonder how the emergence of autonomous vehicles could reshape the transportation landscape and what that might mean for my own life and future career prospects.On one hand, the potential benefits of self-driving cars are immense and could help solve some of society's most vexing issues related to transportation. The first and most obvious advantage is increased safety. Human error accounts for astaggering 94% of vehicle crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. With robots at the wheel, factors like distracted driving, driving under the influence, fatigue, and poor decision-making would be eliminated from the equation. Not only could this save countless lives each year, but it could also reduce congestion caused by accidents andrans associated with emergency response.In addition to the safety benefits, widespread adoption of self-driving cars could dramatically increase mobility for people unable to drive due to age or disabilities. This could allow more elderly and disabled individuals to live independently and maintain their freedom for longer periods of time. It could also cut transportation costs significantly by allowing families to rely primarily on an affordable, self-driving ride service rather than owning a personal vehicle. Less need for private car ownership could lead to less vehicles on the road overall, creating more open space in urban areas currently occupied by parking lots and opening up possibilities for city redesign.Environmental benefits of driverless cars include the potential for increased fuel efficiency through optimal routing, fewer emissions from reduced traffic congestion, and the ability to implement alternative fuel sources easier in a standardizedfleet of self-driving cars. The economic impact could be massive as well, with estimates that autonomous vehicles could save the U.S. economy alone over 800 billion per year from increased productivity, reduced costs associated with traffic accidents, and more efficient use of travel time. A new industry and many new jobs would also be created to manufacture, service, and develop the software and technology behind self-driving cars.While the potential upsides of autonomous vehicles are undoubtedly attractive, they also present some very real and unsettling risks that must be carefully considered as the technology evolves. My biggest concern is the possibility of system failure, hacking, or other malicious attacks that could put passengers' safety in jeopardy. In 2015, researchers were able to successfully hack a Jeep Cherokee's controls while it was being driven, an alarming preview of the types of cyber threatsself-driving cars could face. With line of code connecting autonomous vehicles to the internet, the risk of fleets being compromised looms large. The consequences of such a breach could be catastrophic.There are also ethical quandaries and legal questions surrounding culpability in accidents involving self-driving cars. If an autonomous vehicle is involved in a fatal accident, who isliable - the passenger, automaker, software company that provided the driving intelligence? The lack of clear regulations and accountability could set up lengthy legal battles and sow confusion in the courts for decades to come. There are also concerns from labor unions that autonomous vehicles could eliminate millions of jobs for professional drivers, from long-haul truckers to taxi cab operators. While this could be offset by new jobs created in the autonomous vehicle industry, the transition could still be extremely disruptive for many workers and their families.On a societal level, some urban planners worry that driverless cars could paradoxically increase suburban sprawl by making long commutes more palatable, draining resources from city centers and diminishing the advantages of dense, walkable communities. There are also privacy concerns about the tracking data required for self-driving cars to safely navigate routes and the potential for that information to be abused by companies or government overreach.When I weigh all of these factors, I ultimately feel that the benefits of self-driving vehicles outweigh the potential risks and disadvantages, but only if the technology is implemented cautiously and with appropriate safeguards in place. Rigoroustesting, security measures, clear regulations, and a gradual rollout that allows society to adapt are all critical components that cannot be overlooked. Autonomous vehicles are an innovation that could dramatically improve quality of life, but we must take great care to address the dangers and ensure a safe and equitable transition.As a student looking ahead to embarking on a career in the coming years, I find the rise of self-driving cars both exhilarating and daunting. They could open up new professional opportunities for me in emerging fields like software engineering for autonomous systems or urban planning optimized for driverless transport. However, there is also the possibility that my own job prospects could be threatened by increasing automation and artificial intelligence displacing human workers. No matter which path lies ahead for me,self-driving cars will undoubtedly upend many assumptions about transportation, work, and everyday life that previous generations took for granted. My role will be to stay informed, consider the ethical implications, and prepare myself to help shape this new autonomous age in a way that maximizes its potential to better society while mitigating the dangers. It's sure to be a thrilling and unpredictable journey, and one that my generation will play a pivotal role in navigating.篇2The Benefits and Potential Dangers of Self-Driving CarsSelf-driving cars have been a topic of intense discussion and debate in recent years. As a university student studying computer science, I find this technology both fascinating and concerning. On one hand, autonomous vehicles could revolutionize transportation and vastly improve road safety. On the other, the risks involved with ceding control to artificial intelligence raise troubling ethical and practical questions. In this essay, I will examine the potential benefits of self-driving cars as well as the dangers we must be vigilant about.Perhaps the most compelling argument in favor ofself-driving vehicles is their potential to drastically reduce traffic accidents and fatalities. According to the World Health Organization, over 1.3 million people die in road crashes every year, with human error being a critical factor in over 90% of those accidents. By removing the fallible human element from the equation, autonomous cars could virtually eliminate crashes caused by drunk, distracted, or reckless driving. Their sensor systems and reaction times far surpass those of people. If adopted widely, self-driving tech could save millions of lives over time.Another major benefit would be increased mobility for those currently unable to drive due to age or disabilities. The elderly and visually impaired, among others, often suffer from lack of independence and social isolation due to their inability to operate vehicles safely. Self-driving cars would restore their freedom of movement and improve their quality of life immensely. This same advantage would extend to the broader public as well, leaving people free to use their commute time more productively or simply relax rather than dealing with the stress of driving in heavy traffic.On a societal level, widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles could reduce traffic congestion, air pollution, parking requirements, and overall transportation costs. With sophisticated sensors and vehicle-to-vehicle communication, self-driving cars could travel more efficiently by maintaining optimal speeds and safe distances between one another. Fewer traffic jams would mean less time idling in congestion and burning fuel unnecessarily. More efficient routing could cut travel times and ease strain on public infrastructure. If autonomous ride-sharing takes off, it could reduce the need for parking space as fewer personal vehicles would sit idle. Overall, the economic and environmental impacts could be tremendous.Those are just some of the potential upsides to autonomous driving tech. However, we cannot ignore the very real dangers and ethical minefields that come with ceding control to artificial intelligence systems. One major concern is cyber security - if self-driving cars can be hacked and their systems hijacked, the consequences could be disastrous. Entire fleets of autonomous vehicles could theoretically be turned into weaponized drone bombs with a few lines of malicious code. The software running these cars must be virtually unhackable to prevent such nightmare scenarios.Even if the systems are secure, the decision-making algorithms that control the cars' movements raise troubling ethical questions. In situations where a crash is unavoidable, how should the car's programming prioritize between protecting its passengers versus minimizing casualties outside the vehicle? Should it prioritize the lives of children over adults? High-profile individuals over ordinary citizens? There are no clear ethical guidelines for how to weigh these competing values. Programmers would be tasked with deciding whose lives to prioritize, basically playing a modern incarnation of the old "trolley problem" thought experiment.There are also complex legal questions surrounding liability in the case of an accident involving a self-driving car. Suppose an autonomous vehicle is involved in a fatal collision - who would be held responsible? The automaker? The software company? The sensor manufacturer? Resolving such issues could involve drawn-out legal battles with immense financial and ethical stakes. New legal and regulatory frameworks may need to be created specifically to deal with self-driving technology.On a personal level, I worry about the loss of autonomy involved with self-driving cars. As a driving enthusiast, I value the experience of being in control behind the wheel. There is an undeniable pleasure in the skill involved with operating a vehicle adeptly. Turning over that responsibility entirely to an impersonal machine feels like it could diminish a core aspect of human identity and agency. What if we grow overly dependent on automation to the point where key skills atrophy from disuse? There could be negative psychological impacts to becoming passive occupants disconnected from the acts of navigating and driving.Overall, while I'm in awe of the technical marvels ofself-driving vehicles, I can't fully embrace the technology until its myriad risks and dangers are addressed. The potential benefits interms of safety and efficiency are compelling, but not enough to abandon skepticism and ethical scrutiny. As the technology continues advancing, we must demand robust cybersecurity, transparent decision-making algorithms aligned with human values, equitable legal frameworks, and provisions to maintain key human skills and agency. Responsible development and trusted fail-safes are essential to public adoption. Self-driving cars could represent the next great transportation revolution - but only if we negotiate its uncertainties with clear eyes and level heads.篇3The Benefits and Potential Dangers of Self-Driving CarsAs technology continues to rapidly advance, one area that has seen tremendous progress is the development of self-driving vehicles. These autonomous cars, which can navigate roads and highways without human input, have the potential to revolutionize transportation as we know it. However, as with any new and disruptive technology, the rise of self-driving cars also brings with it a host of potential benefits and risks that must be carefully considered.On the positive side, proponents of self-driving cars argue that they could significantly reduce the number of accidents caused by human error, which accounts for a staggering 94% of all crashes according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. With advanced sensors and sophisticated algorithms, autonomous vehicles can potentially react faster and more accurately than human drivers in various situations, such as sudden obstacles or hazardous weather conditions. By eliminating factors like distracted driving, fatigue, and impaired judgment, self-driving cars could potentially save thousands of lives each year.Furthermore, self-driving technology could provide increased mobility for those who are unable to drive themselves, including the elderly, people with disabilities, and those without a driver's license. This newfound independence could greatly improve their quality of life and allow them to participate more fully in society. Additionally, by reducing the need for individual car ownership, self-driving cars could potentially alleviate traffic congestion and parking shortages in urban areas, leading to a more efficient use of road infrastructure and a lower environmental impact.Another potential benefit of self-driving cars is increased productivity. With the ability to work, read, or relax during their commute, individuals could use their travel time more efficiently, potentially boosting overall productivity and reducing stress levels associated with driving in heavy traffic.However, despite these potential advantages, the widespread adoption of self-driving cars also raises significant concerns and challenges. One of the most pressing issues is the ethical dilemma of how these vehicles should be programmed to handle unavoidable accident situations. For instance, if a collision is imminent, should the car prioritize the safety of its occupants over pedestrians or other vehicles? Who should be responsible for making these complex ethical decisions, and how can we ensure that they are fair and consistent?Another concern is the potential job displacement that could result from the widespread adoption of self-driving vehicles. Millions of people are currently employed as professional drivers, including truck drivers, taxi drivers, and ride-share service providers. The transition to autonomous vehicles could potentially render many of these jobs obsolete, leading to significant economic disruption and the need for comprehensive retraining programs.Furthermore, the security and privacy implications ofself-driving cars cannot be overlooked. These vehicles rely heavily on complex software and interconnected systems, which could potentially be vulnerable to hacking or cyber attacks. Malicious actors could potentially gain control of a self-driving car, putting its occupants and others on the road at risk. Additionally, the vast amounts of data collected by these vehicles, including location information and travel patterns, raise privacy concerns and the potential for misuse or unauthorized access.Despite these challenges, many experts believe that the benefits of self-driving cars outweigh the potential risks, and that the technology will continue to advance and become more widely adopted in the coming years. However, it is crucial that policymakers, automakers, and technology companies work together to address the ethical, legal, and practical concerns surrounding autonomous vehicles.One potential solution could be the development of comprehensive regulations and guidelines to govern the design, testing, and deployment of self-driving cars. These regulations could establish clear standards for safety, cybersecurity, and ethical decision-making, while also addressing issues such asliability in the event of an accident involving an autonomous vehicle.Additionally, extensive public education and awareness campaigns could help alleviate concerns and foster greater acceptance of self-driving technology. By clearly communicating the potential benefits, as well as the measures being taken to mitigate risks, individuals may be more likely to embrace this transformative technology.Ultimately, the advent of self-driving cars represents both an exciting opportunity and a significant challenge. While the potential benefits, such as increased safety, mobility, and efficiency, are compelling, the potential risks and ethical dilemmas must be carefully navigated. It is up to all stakeholders – automakers, tech companies, policymakers, and the general public – to work together to ensure that the development and deployment of self-driving cars prioritizes public safety, ethical principles, and the greater good of society.As a student, I am both fascinated and cautiously optimistic about the future of self-driving cars. While I recognize the potential for increased convenience, productivity, and safety, I also believe that we must remain vigilant in addressing the potential dangers and ethical challenges that accompany thistransformative technology. By engaging in thoughtful dialogue, fostering public understanding, and developing responsible regulations, we can work towards a future where self-driving cars enhance our lives while upholding the highest standards of safety, ethics, and individual rights.。
Evaluation of Autonomous GroundVehicle SkillsPhillip L. KoonCMU-RI -TR- 06-13The Robotics InstituteCarnegie Mellon UniversityPittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213March 2006© 2006 Carnegie Mellon UniversityThe views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the official policies or endorsements, either expressed or implied, of Carnegie Mellon University.AbstractAutonomous ground vehicles must achieve bold performance and solid reliability to mature from laboratory curiosities to fielded systems. Currently, there are no standard methods to measure, validate and compare the performance of autonomous unmanned ground vehicles, hence the impetus for this research. This paper documents the test methods implemented by Carnegie Mellon University’s Red Team while preparing robots for the DARPA Grand Challenge. The Red Team’s test methods were developed to enable quantitative evaluation of the effects of unit changes to the robots’ hardware and software on the robots’ over all ability to blindly track, track with perception assistance and modify based on perception a preplanned path. This paper describes tests for evaluating and comparing navigational skills of autonomous ground vehicles. Test data collected from the Red Team’s H1ghlander and Sandstorm autonomous unmanned ground vehicles is presented. Suggestions for future test methodology research and test standardization are also discussed.Abstract (2)1 Introduction (4)2 Acknowledgement of Support (4)3 Red Team Racing System (4)4 Test Objective (5)5 Literature Review (5)6 Test Formulation (5)7 Blind Path Tracking Test (6)8 Perception Assisted Path Tracking Test (7)9 Perception Planning Test (7)10 Test Tracks Utilized (7)11 Test Execution (8)12 Data Evaluation (9)13 Conclusions (10)14 Future Work (11)15 References (11)Figure 1 Major architectural components of Red Team Racing System (4)Figure 2 ISO-3888-1 Test track for a severe lane change maneuver (6)Figure 3 Blind and perception assisted route through modified ISO-3888-1 test track (7)Figure 4 Perception planning route through modified ISO-3888-1 test track (7)Figure 5 Modified ISO-3888-1 test track as implemented by Red Team (8)Figure 6 Sandstorm (Left) and H1ghlander (Right) on the LTV and NATC test tracks (8)Figure 7 Sandstorm Blind Tracking (9)Figure 8 H1ghlander Blind Tracking (10)1 IntroductionThis research was conducted in conjunction with Carnegie Mellon University’s Red Team’s preparationsfor the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. The 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge was a 132 mile (212kilometer) race of autonomous ground vehicles along paved roads, dirt roads and trails through the Mojave Desert. The following describes the Red Team’s formulation and execution of a test program to measurethe quality of autonomous ground vehicle driving skills. The program pushed performance to the edge ofdriving ability without taking extraordinary risks. The paper documents how Red Team regressively used the test program to evaluate effects of unit changes to hardware and software on the overall driving skills ofthe autonomous ground vehicles.2 Acknowledgement of SupportThis research would not have succeeded without the support of Red Team’s Systems Test group. Inparticular the hard work and dedication of Michael Clark, Test Conductor, for organizing a team to carry out and execute the tests as planned. The development of the test concepts described in this document wasclosely coordinated with Red Team’s Software Leads Dr. Chris Urmson and Kevin Peterson. Members ofthe Systems Test Group include: Jason Ziglar, Josh Johnston, David Ray, Tim Reid, Chris Pinkston, Evan Tahler, Bhas Nalabothula, Josh Struble, Aaron Mosher and Jarrod Snyder.The author would also like to thank Dr. Red Whittaker, Dr. Dimi Apostolopoulos and Juan Pablo Gonzalez for review and advise during the development of this paper.3 Red Team Racing SystemThe Red Team Racing System creates path plans that its autonomous ground vehicles follow at high speed. The vehicles modify the preplanned paths as required based on local perception of the world. Figure 1 shows the major components of the Red Team Racing System. Figure 1 and the description of the Red Team Racing System are paraphrased or quoted from the Red Team1 and Red Team Too2 2005 DARPAGrand Challenge Technical Papers.Figure 1 Major architectural components of Red Team Racing System.The Preplanning function was performed prior to test sessions and prior to running races. Preplanningconverts the DARPA or Test Designer provided route data definition file (RDDF) into a path definition file (PDF) that Red Team autonomous ground vehicles can follow. The PDF, a preplanned path, is loaded onto the autonomous ground vehicles. This file defines the waypoints, corridor and speeds the robots willattempt to pass, stay within and achieve during a race or test.The Perception function interprets range data collected from lasers and radar creating a terrain cost mapand binary obstacle map. These maps are delivered to the Path Planning function.The Path Planning function fuses the preplanned path, terrain cost map and binary obstacle map into aworld model. Items in the binary obstacle map are fused to the terrain cost map by adding them as high orinfinite cost, while clear traverses are added as low or no cost. Path Planning uses an A-star algorithmwhich considers multiple possible traversable arcs forward of vehicle position within the preplanned path’sroute corridor. Each possible arc is evaluated in terms of least cost to goal. The "best" path at any giveninterval is then communicated to the Path Tracking function. Areas outside of the path definition file'sroute corridor are not considered in path planning3.The Path Tracking function evaluates a best path relative to current vehicle position and pose. Thealgorithm sets maximum speed and curvature and constrains the trajectory to ensure against skidding andtip over. Path tracking passes calculated commands of desired curvature and speed to the vehicle’s drive-by-wire system.The Drive By Wire function receives curvature and speed commands and converts them into control signalswhich position the steering, brake and throttle actuators appropriately. The Drive By Wire functionmonitors vehicle steering and speed and updates actuator commands appropriately to maintain the lastcommanded values.4 Test ObjectiveThe impetus for the Red Team’s test methodology was a desire to measure the threshold of its robots’driving skills. The team used the tests in a regressive manner to evaluate the effects of unit changes inhardware and software on the robots’ over all ability to drive. Three major skills constitute driving ability.The first skill is the ability of the robots to follow a preplanned path based on position sensing only. Thesecond skill is the ability of the robots to track a preplanned path while assisted by perception sensors. Thethird skill is the ability of the robots to dynamically modify the preplanned path to avoid sensed obstacles.5 Literature ReviewThe literature does not yet chronicle the subject of autonomous ground vehicle test related to measuringdriving skills at speed. Review of technical reports of DARPA Grand Challenge 2005 finishers StanfordRacing Team4, Team Gray5 and Team Terramax6 found they all placed great value on testing but did notmention specific tests to measure driving skill. Literature review found documentation of tests to measurean unmanned vehicle’s ability to track a path at low speed7&8. An example of this is Shilcutts,Apostolopoulos’ and Whittaker’s tests to validate a meteorite search robot’s ability to navigate a patternpath. Although this test did validate path tracking it required post test analysis to determine pass or fail.The test did not validate the integration of perception into the navigation process. Tests of driver assisttechnologies are also well documented9,10&11. These works describes tests of lane departure and collisionavoidance warning systems. They all involve humans in the loop and are more qualitative than quantitativein nature. This lack of documented tests for autonomous vehicle driving skills at high speed led to a searchof current industry standards for testing automobiles.6 Test FormulationResearch of published literature on the subject of automotive dynamic testing revealed InternationalOrganization for Standardization standard ISO-3888-1, Passenger cars — Test track for a severe lane-change maneuver Part 1 – Double lane-change12 (Reference Figure 2). This test was designed as a means to subjectively evaluate vehicle dynamic performance. The test is subjective because it only quantifies asmall part of a vehicle’s handling characteristics and is highly dependent on the input from the driver. Thisdependence on driver skill is what made the test attractive to the author for adaptation to autonomousground vehicle driving skill testing.Figure 2 ISO-3888-1 Test track for a severe lane change maneuver.Known error in the Red Team’s autonomous ground vehicles’ pose sensor of 1 meter RMS and estimated path tracker of 0.5 meter RMS drove the team to modify the original ISO-3888-1 course adding 1.5 meter to lane width in all sections. This additional lane width enabled quantitative measurement of performance considering total system error. The course shown in Figure 2 can be used with any autonomous ground vehicle by adjusting the lane width as shown. The length of the course is fixed for all size vehicles at 125 meters. Table 1 describes the basic steps used in the autonomous ground vehicle path tracking skills assessment. Ideally reliability would be validated by running the test over several days without system configuration changes.Table 1Test steps for autonomous ground vehicle path tracking skill assessment.7 Blind Path Tracking TestThe initial skill test conducted on the modified ISO-3888-1 test course was blind path tracking. Red Team created the route file for this test with a human driving the robot through the test course and recording the position output of the robot’s pose sensor. The path definition file was created setting the corridor to 4 meters on either side of the path center line. Figure 3 is a graphical representation of the path definition file used in the blind and perception assisted path tracking tests. When conducting the blind path tracking test the autonomous ground vehicle is configured such that only the pose sensor is considered in pathplanning. The absence of all perception sensor input will limit path tracking error to that induced from the pose sensor, path tracking algorithm and drive by wire actuation control errors.1. Create a route file which traverses through the ISO-3888-1 test track.2. Create a path definition file for the route created in step 1 setting the corridor width slightly widerthan the test track’s lane width and the speed to a constant (e.g., 5 meters/sec). Path definition file must include an area before the test course begins for the robot to achieve the required constantvelocity.3. Load the path definition file into the autonomous ground vehicle4. Command the autonomous ground vehicle to drive the route described in the path definition file.5. Record the time the autonomous ground vehicle is on the test track entry to exit.6. Record the number of times the autonomous ground vehicle touches or exits the test track’sboundaries.7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 increasing the speed by an incremental value (e.g., 2 meters/second) untilthe autonomous ground vehicle can no longer successfully traverse the course or the operation isdeemed to be unsafe. Multiple runs at each speed increment are required to demonstrate consistency.

Note that at the entrance to each lane segment a perpendicular boundary wall has been added to the original ISO-3888-1 test track. These boundary walls ensure theautonomous ground vehicle has no possibility of planning a trajectory that does not go through the desired lane. The autonomous ground vehicle is configured to use all of its perception sensors and the pose sensor date when conducting path planning. The test measures driving skill when given a nominal path through an area constrained by boundary obstacles and assisted by perception.9 Perception Planning TestThe perception planning test is conducted on the same modified ISO-3888-1 test track but uses a route file that follows the center line of test tracks outside boundaries as depicted in Figure 4. This test measures an autonomous ground vehicle’s ability to modify the preplanned path based on perception.Figure 4 Perception planning route through modified ISO-3888-1 test track. 10 Test Tracks UtilizedRed Team conducted field tests at the LTV Steel facility along the Monongahela River in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania and at the Nevada Automotive Test Center (NATC) in Silver Springs, Nevada. The test tracks at both sites operated on roads that had been created or used for conduct the DARPA GrandChallenge 2005 mandatory site visit demonstrations of Red Team’s two autonomous ground vehicles. The site visit course was 200 meters in length and included two 31 degree turns (Turns were required to be ≥ 30 degrees). Figure 5 is a graphical representation of the modified ISO-3888-1 test track implemented by the Red Team. The implementation of the modified ISO-3888-1 test track featured the double lane change maneuver in the long leg of the 200 meter long site visit course. The road boundary of the track was defined with traffic cones. While testing at the LTV Steel site Red Team used small cardboard boxes wrapped in plastic bags as lane boundaries. While testing at the NATC Red Team migrated from boxes to traffic cones for lane boundaries. This migration consisted of defining the lane center line with cones and the perpendicular wall with boxes at first then cones later.

Test personnel included test conductor, robot operator, chase car driver and timers. The basic plan was toconduct a complete set of blind path tracking, perception assisted tracking and perception planning during each test session. Table 2 is an example of data collected during a typical test session on the modified IS)-3888-1 test tracks.Table 2 Typical data collected during tests.Red Team started sessions on the modified ISO-3888-1 track with the blind path tracking test at an initial speed of 5 meters per second. The team would execute a minimum of three runs then increase the speed by 2 meters per second. At each speed increment three runs were executed. Speed was increased until the vehicle left the course and had to be stopped via the emergency stop link or the test team deemedoperations at higher speeds were unnecessary. The blind path tracking test was never conducted at speeds above 13 meters per second. As confidence in the robot’s blind tracking ability increased the number of blind tracking tests were decreased and eventually were not included in the test routine. The test was held in reserve for regression testing after hardware or software changes were made to a robot that would affect the basic path tracking. Examples of system changes affecting path tracking include steering position sensor, steering control algorithm, pose sensor, path tracking algorithm, etc.Execution of perception tracking tests started with recording of the active perception sensor configuration. Initial speeds for perception tracking were set at 5 meters per second. Multiple runs at the slower speeds were eventually found to be unnecessary. As in the blind path tracking incremental speed changes were of 2 meters per second and maximum speed was 13 meters per second. As confidence in the perception sensing systems ability to correctly sense and localize obstacles in the world view increased emphasis on conducting perception tracking was diminished.Execution of the perception planning test was identical to the perception tracking test with the exception of using a different path definition file (Reference Figure 4).12 Data EvaluationThe initial blind tracking test of Sandstorm, Figure 7, conducted on 17-June-2005 revealed the robot did not have a robust path tracking ability. The observed quality of driving was poor with significant overshoot when cornering. The test was aborted after Sandstorm left the roadway at 9 m/sec. The path trackingcontrol algorithm was modified adding an integral term and when the test was repeated on 17-August-2005 performance was notably better. Observed quality of driving found it to corner smoothly withoutsignificant overshoot. The team was satisfied with Sandstorm’s blind tracking performance at this point and did not conduct the test on Sandstorm again.Blind Tracking12345A t t e m p t s Figure 7 Sandstorm Blind TrackingH1ghlander’s blind tracking data, Figure 8, is a little deceptive. Observed quality of driving on 1-July-2005 was good with smooth cornering and minimal overshoot. Minor adjustments were made to the pathtracking control algorithm (H1ghlander did not use an integral term) and performance marginally improved on 21-August-2005. The team was satisfied with H1ghlander’s blind tracking performance at this point and did not repeat the test.Blind Tracking12345A t t e m p t sFigure 8 H1ghlander Blind TrackingAnalysis of the data collected during the perception tracking and planning tests is inconclusive ofperformance gains due to changing hardware and software configurations. As an example, performance of the vehicles is observed to decline in September after the short range LIDARS were removed and replaced during addition of sensor washing hardware. This decline was directly attributable to the lack of adequate calibration of the sensors for object localization.13 ConclusionsThe Blind Tracking, Perception Tracking and Perception Planning tests are an effective tool for measuring autonomous ground vehicle driving skill. The tests are relatively easy to set up and inexpensive to conduct. Red Team has found the tests an effective means to evaluate hardware and software configuration changes.The blind tracking test is an excellent tool for measuring an autonomous ground vehicle’s ability to blindly follow waypoints. The test is applicable to all automotive and truck class autonomous ground vehicles.The perception tracking test is a good tool to measure the effects of perception on path tracking and also as a subjective qualitative of driving quality. An example qualitative analysis, does the path planner attempt to maximize distance from perceived obstacles thus centering in the lane or does it attempt to smooth the trajectory maintaining the current trajectory as long as it is clear and within corridor constraints.The perception planning test is a good tool to measure the effectiveness of an autonomous ground vehicle’s ability to dynamically adapt to items impeding the preplanned path. The perception planning test is limited in that it measures the vehicle’s ability to rapidly adapt to obstacles. The test does not measure thesmoothness of a vehicle’s reaction. For example, when humans are driving and see obstacles they will generally react as early and smoothly as possible to change their trajectory to avoid obstacles. The perception planning test could be adapted for this purpose by elongating the length of the track segments between lane change barriers.14 Future WorkThe Red Team has advanced the technology readiness level 13,14,15 of its robotic racing system from about TRL 3 (analytical or experimental characteristic proof of concept) to about TRL 5 (Technology component demonstration in a relevant environment) while preparing for the DARPA Grand Challenge. This change is largely attributable to the rigorous test program implemented. In order to achieve TRL 9, actual technology system qualified, a much wider set of systems tests must be developed. Although the tests described above effectively measure an autonomous ground vehicle’s abilities to track and plan a path they are not effective at measuring perception skills. Standard tests need to be developed that measure an autonomous ground vehicles ability to sense and accurately localize obstacles of varying size. These tests should account for differing perception sensing modes. Standard tests that measure an autonomous vehicle’s ability to safely and reliably interact with other vehicles and humans are needed. This is only a fraction of the tests needed to move autonomous ground vehicles from technological curiosities to common tools used by people everywhere.15 References1 Red Team Racing.
