planning and control, predictions, perception, localization,
maps, recording modules, router transitions, planning, and
deviance from expected behavior.
A notable finding was the prevalence of failures in other
components leading to the AV generating unsatisfactory
motion plans. Specifically, in circumstances where the AV
incorrectly predicted an outcome, the odds of an unsatisfactory
motion plan being generated were significantly higher. This
observations indicates the need for further research and
development aimed at enhancing the decision-making
capabilities of AVs to mitigate risks and improve their
compatibility with human drivers on public roads. The analysis
of the 2023 DR data highlighted some of the existing limitation
and challenges of AV development. Addressing these
challenges will require a multifaceted approach of
technological advancements, a deeper understanding of the
interconnectivity within AV systems, the development of
rigorous testing protocols, and regulatory frameworks focused
on enhancing the safety of these vehicles.
