What’s It About?
Driving requires careful observation and quick decision making tasks that, for autonomous vehicles, must be fully automated. While most current systems rely on machine learning for environment perception, our approach argues that driving decisions are best handled through human-style commonsense reasoning. In this talk, Dr. Gopal Gupta will explain how his team uses answer set programming (ASP) and the goal-directed s(CASP) system to simulate a human driver’s thought process, making decisions that are both explainable and correct.
