Benny Bao-Sheng Li, Elena Wu, Hins Shao-Xuan Yang, Nicky Yao-Jin Liang

Autonomous driving has garnered significant attention in recent years, especially in optimizing vehicle performance under varying conditions. This paper addresses the challenge of maintaining maximum speed stability in low-speed autonomous driving while following a predefined route. Leveraging reinforcement learning (RL), we propose a novel approach to optimize driving policies that enable the vehicle to achieve near-maximum speed without compromising on safety or route accuracy, even in low-speed scenarios.
