Safer Autonomous Vehicles Means Asking Them the Right Questions

Safer Autonomous Vehicles Means Asking Them the Right Questions

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.A lot of pressure is riding on autonomous vehicles to perform flawlessly—each mistake they make erodes the public’s trust and puts immense pressure on the industry to further improve safety. What will help autonomous vehicles overcome these challenges?In a study published in the October issue of IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, researchers outlined numerous ways in which explainable AI—in which questions are posed to an AI model to understand its decision-making process—can be used to pinpoint exactly when in that process the models overseeing autonomous vehicles are making mistakes. This approach could not only help passengers know when it’s necessary to take control of the vehicle and help build their trust in autonomous vehicles, but also help industry experts develop safer ones. Shahin Atakishiyev is a deep learning researcher who conducted the study as part of his postdoctoral work with the University of Alberta, in Canada. He notes that autonomous driving architecture is generally a black box. “Ordinary people, such as passengers and bystanders, do not know how an autonomous vehicle makes real-time driving decisions,” he says. But with rapidly advancing AI, it’s now possible to ask the models why they make the decisions they do. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for digging deeper into the model’s inner workings. For example, what aspects of its visual sensory data was it focusing on when it decided to brake suddenly? To what extent did time constraints affect its decision-making?Real-Time Feedback in Autonomous VehiclesIn their paper, Atakishiyev and his colleagues provide an example of how real-time feedback could help passengers detect faulty decision-making by autonomous vehicles. They point to a case study where another research group slightly altered a 35-mile-per-hour (56 kilometers per hour) speed limit sign by adding a sticker to it, elongating the middle part of the “3,” and tested Tesla Model S to see how the heads-up display of the vehicle read the altered speed limit. The vehicle read the 35-mph (56 kph) sign as an 85-mph (137-kph) sign and accelerated as it approached and passed the sign. In such a case, Atakishiyev’s team notes that if the car provides a rationale for its decision on a dashboard or user interface—for example by saying “The speed limit is 85 mph, accelerating”—in real time while approaching the speed sign, a passenger onboard could intervene and ensure the car adheres to the true speed limit. A challenge here, Atakishiyev says, is what level of information to provide to passengers, each of whom will have different preferences. “Explanations can be delivered via audio, visualization, text, or vibration, and people may choose different modes depending on their technical knowledge, cognitive abilities, and age,” he says.Whereas real-time feedback to users could help prevent disasters from happening in the moment, analyzing the decision-making process of an autonomous vehicle after it makes a mistake could also help scientists produce safer vehicles, Atakishiyev says.In their study, Atakishiyev’s team conducted different simulationsin which a deep learning model for autonomous vehicles made various decisions while driving, and the researchers asked the driving model questions about its decisions. They made sure to ask the model trick questions, which revealed instances when the model lacked the ability to explain its actions. This approach can help identify key gaps in the explanation module that need to be addressed.They also point to an existing machine learning analysis technique, called SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), that researchers can use to assess AV decision-making. After an autonomous vehicle completes a drive, a SHAP analysis involves scoring all features used in decision-making of the autonomous vehicle, to reveal which are helpful and influential (and which are not) for driving decisions. “This analysis helps to discard less influential features and pay more attention to the most salient ones,” Atakishiyev says.The researchers also discuss how explanations could help tease apart the legalities of when an autonomous vehicle hits a pedestrian. Key questions here include: Was the vehicle following the rules of the road? Once the accident occurred, did the vehicle “understand” that it hit a person and come to a full stop, as it should? Did it activate emergency functions (for example, reporting the accident to authorities and emergency services) immediately? Such questions help scientists identify faults in a model that need correcting.These tactics to understand the decision-making processes of deep learning models are gaining traction in the field of autonomous vehicles, and will presumably lead to safer roads. “I would say explanations are becoming an integral component of AV technology,” Atakishiyev says, emphasizing that explanations can help assess the operational safety of the driving by debugging the existing systems.

US To Launch "New Phase" Of Venezuela Operations, Options Include Overthrowing Maduro: Report

US To Launch "New Phase" Of Venezuela Operations, Options Include Overthrowing Maduro: Report One day after the FAA issued a Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM), or an alert notifying pilots of potential serious hazards in certain airspace, for the Maiquetía Flight Information Region above Venezula, Reuters reported that the US is poised to launch a new phase of Venezuela-related operations in the coming days, citing four U.S. officials.Amid a sharp escalation of pressure by the Trump administration on President Nicolas Maduro's government, including proliferating reports of looming action as the US military deployed forces to the Caribbean amid worsening relations with Venezuela, two of the sources said covert operations would likely be the first part of the new action against Maduro, while two US officials told Reuters the options under consideration included attempting to overthrow Maduro.A senior administration official on Saturday told Reuters that nothing had been ruled out regarding Venezuela."President Trump is prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice," said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.Before the Reuters report, six airlines had already cancelled flights to Venezuela on Saturday after the US aviation regulator warned major airlines of dangers from "heightened military activity" amid a major buildup of American forces in the region, as well as a "potentially hazardous situation" when flying over Venezuela and urged them to exercise caution.Spain's Iberia, Portugal's TAP, Chile's LATAM, Colombia's Avianca, Brazil's GOL and Trinidad and Tobago's Caribbean have suspended their flights to the country, said Marisela de Loaiza, president of the Venezuelan Airlines Association (ALAV). Panama's Copa Airlines, Spain's Air Europa and PlusUltra, Turkish Airlines, and Venezuela's LASER are continuing to operate flights for now.The Trump administration has been weighing Venezuela-related options to combat what it has portrayed as Maduro’s role in supplying illegal drugs that have killed Americans. He has denied having any links to the illegal drug trade. Maduro, under whose rule Venezuela has experienced crushing hyperinflation and a collapse in its oil production sector amid staggering corruption, has contended that Trump seeks to oust him and that Venezuelan citizens and the military will resist any such attempt. He also has characterized U.S. actions as an effort to take control of Venezuela's oil.A military buildup in the Caribbean has been underway for months, and Trump has authorized covert CIA operations in Venezuela. The United States plans on Monday to designate the Cartel de los Soles a foreign terrorist organization for its alleged role in importing illegal drugs into the United States, officials said. The Trump administration has accused Maduro of leading Cartel de los Soles, which he denies.Washington in August doubled its reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest to $50 million. But U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last week that the terrorist designation "brings a whole bunch of new options to the United States."Trump has said the upcoming designation would allow the United States to strike Maduro's assets and infrastructure in Venezuela, but he also has indicated a willingness to potentially pursue talks in hopes of a diplomatic solution.Maduro said earlier this week that the countries' differences should be resolved through diplomacy and that he is willing to hold face-to-face talks with anyone interested. Two U.S. officials acknowledged conversations between Caracas and Washington. It was unclear whether those conversations could impact the timing or scale of potential U.S. operations.The U.S. Navy's largest aircraft carrier, the Gerald R. Ford, arrived in the Caribbean on November 16 with its strike group, joining at least seven other warships, a nuclear submarine and F-35 aircraft.U.S. forces in the region so far have focused on counter-narcotics operations, even though the assembled firepower far outweighs anything needed for them. U.S. troops since September have carried out at least 21 strikes on alleged drug boats, killing at least 83 people, mostly in the Caribbean, although vessels in the Pacific Ocean also have been targeted.
