PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Most drivers know the frustration of traveling on a street with cars parked on either side and getting through a two-way street in that situation is a challenge.
It becomes even more of a challenge when there is no human driver behind the wheel to make it work.
However, new research from Carnegie Mellon University’s Argo AI Center For Autonomous Vehicle Research is working to solve that challenge.
“It’s the unwritten rules of the road, that’s pretty much what we’re dealing with here,” said Christoph Killing, a former visiting research scholar at CMU’s School of Computer Science’s robotics institute. “It’s a difficult bit. You have to learn to negotiate this scenario without knowing if the other vehicle is going to stop or go.”
