Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If deep learning systems are used for autonomous vehicle control, then automation level is improved, but scalability deteriorates due to reliance on labeled data
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables autonomous vehicles to self-train by collecting their own driving experiences and using reinforcement learning to improve their policies without external supervision. Each vehicle serves as its own training data source, eliminating the need for manually labeled datasets and enabling scalable deployment across multiple vehicles.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements continuous feedback loops where driving experiences are collected, policies are updated based on this feedback, and improved policies are deployed back to the vehicles. This closed-loop reinforcement learning approach allows the system to automatically improve over time without external intervention.
2Reliability
If external supervision and labeled data are used for training, then reliability is improved, but loss of time increases due to labor-intensive data creation
Solution Approach 1:
The system eliminates the need for external supervisors and manual data labeling by enabling vehicles to autonomously collect, process, and learn from their own driving experiences in real-time, dramatically reducing both time and labor requirements while maintaining training quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables continuous learning during normal vehicle operation rather than requiring separate training phases. Vehicles continuously collect driving experiences and update their policies in real-time, transforming idle training time into productive operational time.
3Reliability
If neural networks are trained to achieve automotive reliability in all environments, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the learning process into modular components: experience collection modules, policy learning modules, and deployment modules. This segmentation allows each component to be independently optimized and validated, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive reliability across diverse environments.

AI summary
Systems and methods are provided autonomous driving policy generation. The system can include a set of autonomous driver agents, and a driving policy generation module that includes a set of driving policy learner modules for generating and improving policies based on the collective experiences collected by the driver agents. The driver agents can collect driving experiences to create a knowledge base. The driving policy learner modules can process the collective driving experiences to extract driving policies. The driver agents can be trained via the driving policy learner modules in a parallel and distributed manner to find novel and efficient driving policies and behaviors faster and more efficiently. Parallel and distributed learning can enable accelerated training of multiple autonomous intelligent driver agents.
