The current trend in both industry and academia suggests end-to-end (E2E) machine learning solutions for automated driving systems. An E2E system is globally optimized towards the system’s end goal, in contrast to a modular system in which each module is locally optimized towards some intermediate proxy goal.
Other possible benefits with an E2E solution are that less annotation would be needed, that the development and maintenance of the system would be easier, and that the computational cost would be lower. However, some possible drawbacks with an E2E solution are that it would mean a system more “black box” in nature – with implications for safety, interpretability and debugging – and that it would be harder to train.
One could also consider hybrid solutions, which are less modular but not fully end-to-end.
Purpose:
This master thesis will investigate approaching an end-to-end solution for the automated driving sub-system of high beam assist.
Learning Objectives:
Improved knowledge of the benefits, drawbacks and feasibility of approaching an end-to-end machine learning solution for an automated driving sub-system.
Student Background:
Master studies, experience with Python and Machine Learning (with Deep Learning and Computer Vision being particularly meritorious).
Thesis work suitable for 1-2 students.
Location: Linköping
