Today we’re joined by Cathy Wu, Assistant Professor at MIT. We had the pleasure of catching up with Cathy to discuss her work applying RL to mixed autonomy traffic, specifically, understanding the potential impact autonomous vehicles would have on various mixed-autonomy scenarios. To better understand this, Cathy built multiple RL simulations, including a track, intersection, and merge scenarios. We talk through how each scenario is set up, how human drivers are modeled, the results, and much more.
