Solution Overview

Problem

Autonomous driving models trained with single and simple data sets struggle to generalize well in complex real-world scenarios, leading to safety hazards and hindering the implementation of autonomous driving.

Innovation Solution

Construct a VQA network graph based on an autonomous driving data set and/or simulator, using it as a sample set to train driving behavior and trajectory prediction models, and evaluate them using a training and test set, while also training a video prediction model with initial video frames and control texts to enhance generalization and interactivity.
