让自动驾驶车同时考虑所有道路使用者的风险视角,更安全也更像人类驾驶。

Considering Perspectives for Automated Driving Ethics: Collective Risk in Vehicular Motion Planning

  • 提出多视角风险最小化策略,可切换不同道路使用者的视角进行决策。
  • 集体风险视角下整体交通风险最低,自动驾驶车适度承担更高自身风险。
  • 行为更符合人类驾驶习惯,提升社会可接受度,适合伦理与交通规划研究者。

当前自动驾驶车辆(AV)运动规划主要聚焦于降低自身风险,但忽略了其他道路使用者的风险视角,可能导致他人风险上升。本文提出一种可在所有道路使用者视角间切换风险最小化策略的运动规划方法。实验发现,不同参与者的风险感知存在显著差异;采用集体风险视角(即平衡所有道路使用者风险)时,整体交通风险最低,自动驾驶车虽自身风险略高,但更符合人类驾驶行为。此外,该策略在其他道路使用者对自动驾驶车风险评估较低时表现更主动,提升效率;当其行为不可预测、风险较高时则保持保守,体现自我反思能力。研究表明,为实现包含自动驾驶的交通系统伦理化,必须在决策中纳入各道路使用者的风险视角。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Recent automated vehicle (AV) motion planning strategies evolve around minimizing risk in road traffic. However, they exclusively consider risk from the AV's perspective and, as such, do not address the ethicality of its decisions for other road users. We argue that this does not reduce the risk of each road user, as risk may be different from the perspective of each road user. Indeed, minimizing the risk from the AV's perspective may not imply that the risk from the perspective of other road users is also being minimized; in fact, it may even increase. To test this hypothesis, we propose an AV motion planning strategy that supports switching risk minimization strategies between all road user perspectives. We find that the risk from the perspective of other road users can generally be considered different to the risk from the AV's perspective. Taking a collective risk perspective, i.e., balancing the risks of all road users, we observe an AV that minimizes overall traffic risk the best, while putting itself at slightly higher risk for the benefit of others, which is consistent with human driving behavior. In addition, adopting a collective risk minimization strategy can also be beneficial to the AV's travel efficiency by acting assertively when other road users maintain a low risk estimate of the AV. Yet, the AV drives conservatively when its planned actions are less predictable to other road users, i.e., associated with high risk. We argue that such behavior is a form of self-reflection and a natural prerequisite for socially acceptable AV behavior. We conclude that to facilitate ethicality in road traffic that includes AVs, the risk-perspective of each road user must be considered in the decision-making of AVs.
