Abstract

Autonomous Driving is one of the difficult problems faced the automotive applications. Nowadays, it is restricted due to the presence of some laws that prevent cars from being fully autonomous for the fear of accidents occurrence. Researchers try to improve the accuracy and safety of their models with the aim of having a strong push against these restricted Laws.

Autonomous driving is a sought-after solution which isn’t easily solved by classical approaches. Deep Learning is considered as a strong Artificial Intelligence paradigm which can teach machines how to behave in difficult situations. It proved its success in many differ domains, but it still has sometime in the automotive applications.

The presented work will use the end-to-end deep machine learning field in order to reach to our goal of having Full Autonomous Driving Vehicle that can behave correctly in different scenarios. CARLA simulator will be used to learn and test the deep neural networks. Results will show not only performance on CARLA’s simulator as an end-to-end solution for autonomous driving, but also how the same approach can be used on one of the most popular real datasets of automotive that includes camera images with the corresponding driver’s control action.
