Autonomous vehicles must operate safely in an unpredictable world, yet hazardous driving scenarios – often rare and complex – pose significant challenges for AI-driven perception and decision-making systems. This presentation explores advanced algorithmic approaches to identify, categorize, and test these critical edge cases in large-scale driving datasets. We will discuss techniques such as reinforcement learning, scenario mining, and adversarial testing to systematically uncover and validate hazardous scenarios. By enhancing our ability to detect and address these challenges, we can improve the robustness and safety of autonomous driving systems.
In this presentation, you will learn more about:
Received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in aerospace engineering in 2012 and the Ph.D. degree in reliability engineering and system analysis in 2018, both from the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Russia. From 2012 to 2016, used to be a Reliability Engineer in several major Russian radar and electronics companies. Since 2016, has been a System/Functional Safety Engineer with RoboCV, Russian-based warehouse automation start-up based in Skolkovo Innovation Centre, Moscow. Later in 2017 joined Arrival Ltd., a UK-based electric vehicles start-up where he was in the position of the Head of Functional Safety. Dr. Babaev is the author of more than 25 publications in reliability and safety engineering, as well as 2 patents in automotive and machinery safety areas. His research interests include reliability and safety engineering, system analysis, machine learning and statistics methods in safety. Dr. Babaev is a co-guest Editor of the MDPI 'Artificial Intelligence for Connected and Automated Vehicles' journal. He is also a part of UK ISO 21448 workgroup and TUV Rheinland certified functional safety engineer.
