Reinforcement Learning for Falsification of Dynamic Driving Scenarios

Abstract

Falsification has been widely used to find failure cases for cyber-physical systems (CPS). In the domain of autonomous driving, falsification has recently been applied to find adversarial driving maneuvers which cause other vehicles to crash. In this work, we propose a reinforcement learning (RL)-based falsification framework that can discover complex adversarial maneuvers in diverse driving scenarios. Finally, we compare our approach to existing falsification methods, both in terms of their efficiency at finding counter-examples as well as the diversity and quality of their counter-examples. Our results suggest that RL-based falsification can be an effective tool for testing and validating autonomous vehicle systems.
