Autonomous driving: Algorithm allocates risks fairly Technology News | February 7, 2023 By Christoph HammerschmidtResearchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed software for autonomous driving that distributes the risk of an accident fairly. Before autonomously driving vehicles can be on the roads nationwide, not only the technical implementation must be accomplished. Such scenarios – whether with a real background or not – hamper the acceptance of autonomous driving. An example illustrates the approach: an autonomous vehicle wants to overtake a bicycle, but a truck is coming towards it in the opposite lane. Aggressive manoeuvres are avoided, and at the same time the autonomous vehicle does not fall into a state of shock and brake abruptly.
