Towards Knowledge-driven Autonomous Driving
This is an incremental review paper that organizes existing research to guide future work in autonomous driving, targeting researchers and practitioners in the field.
The paper reviews knowledge-driven autonomous driving technologies to address limitations like data bias and lack of interpretability in current systems, proposing a framework that integrates large language models and other AI techniques for more adaptive and intelligent driving.
This paper explores the emerging knowledge-driven autonomous driving technologies. Our investigation highlights the limitations of current autonomous driving systems, in particular their sensitivity to data bias, difficulty in handling long-tail scenarios, and lack of interpretability. Conversely, knowledge-driven methods with the abilities of cognition, generalization and life-long learning emerge as a promising way to overcome these challenges. This paper delves into the essence of knowledge-driven autonomous driving and examines its core components: dataset \& benchmark, environment, and driver agent. By leveraging large language models, world models, neural rendering, and other advanced artificial intelligence techniques, these components collectively contribute to a more holistic, adaptive, and intelligent autonomous driving system. The paper systematically organizes and reviews previous research efforts in this area, and provides insights and guidance for future research and practical applications of autonomous driving.
