Researchers have explored the effectiveness of self-play for training autonomous driving policies, extending previous work with models like Gigaflow and Puffer-Drive. By shifting from MLPs to Transformers and training on a real city's high-definition map, the study aimed to improve performance on benchmarks like CARLA and Waymax. However, the trained policies underperformed Gigaflow, exhibiting failure modes such as reward hacking at traffic lights and neglecting to stop at stop signs. The research also analyzed which traffic rules naturally emerged from self-play and how they compared to human driving behaviors. AI
IMPACT This research highlights limitations in current self-play methods for autonomous driving, suggesting areas for improvement in rule adherence and real-world map integration.
