Driver understanding based in Deep Learning in Autonomous Driving
Intelligent vehicles technologies require a good understanding of human driver behaviors to guarantee safe, adjust to drivers’ needs and meet their preferences. Therefore, the driver understanding is essential for the development of these systems. Autonomous vehicles are coming to the world with the hope of increasing safety, decreasing congestion and reducing green-house gases in a general way. But, new open questions need to be answered: what will be the role of humans in such a rapidly approaching future? Would they seat as passive occupants, who fully trust their vehicles, or would there be a need for humans to “take over” control in some situations either triggered by the need perceived by the autonomous vehicle or desired by someone in the cabin?
This research line try to answer these questions monitoring driving behaviors by using the emerging deep learning approach, based on big data, which is revolutionizing the classical machine learning techniques, getting a breakthrough in the performance of complex classification and decision-making problems. Our proposal is to monitor driver behavior in real-time and to carry out decision making tasks, by using deep learning techniques, in order to implement a safe switching system between manual and automatic mode in the future V2U (Vehicle to User) interfaces for autonomous vehicles.
