Integrating the proposed approach with reinforcement learning or other planning algorithms can significantly enhance the overall performance and safety of autonomous driving systems:
Reinforcement Learning: By combining trajectory augmentation with reinforcement learning, the autonomous driving system can learn optimal policies for decision-making in complex driving scenarios. The augmented trajectories can serve as diverse training data for the reinforcement learning agent, enabling it to learn from a wider range of experiences and improve its decision-making capabilities.
Model Predictive Control (MPC): Integrating the augmented trajectories into MPC algorithms can enhance the system's ability to plan and execute maneuvers in real-time. By incorporating diverse and representative trajectories, the MPC controller can make more informed decisions while considering safety-critical scenarios and maintaining smooth and intelligent driving behaviors.
Online Learning: Implementing online learning techniques can allow the autonomous driving system to continuously adapt and improve its performance based on real-time data. By updating the trajectory augmentation process and planning algorithms dynamically, the system can respond effectively to changing environments and unforeseen challenges, enhancing both performance and safety.
