Title: Autonomous Driving using Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM)

Speaker: Dr. Edwin Olson, CEO and Co-founder of May Mobility Inc.

Abstract:

In this talk, Dr. Edwin Olson will describe an approach to building autonomous vehicles using Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM). MPDM is a method for high-level decision making, in which a vehicle makes decisions like “should I pass this bicycle, or should I follow it?” It enables autonomous vehicles to interact more naturally with other cars and road users like bicycles and pedestrians, which is a requirement for autonomous to be widely deployed. With technologies like MPDM, his team believes autonomous vehicles can help to transform cities and increase transportation access and equity.
