Cooperative Autonomous Driving in Simulation.

Autonomous driving is an area that has been growing in recent years. However, cars are unprepared to cooperate with others nearby, wasting resources and computational power. Thus, cooperative autonomous driving reveals its importance in the future. In this work-in-progress paper, we define, implement and test an architecture for a simulation environment where cooperative autonomous driving protocols can be tested. Additionally, a Manoeuvre Negotiation Protocol is implemented. This protocol will make an existing autonomous driving (AD) stack more resilient in real driving scenarios, improving its robustness and safety. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
