I know this might sound like I’m still in the 1970s, but... it occurs to me that marrying an expert system to these neural systems might help significantly with the long tail of unusual events.
Fundamentally, the problem with these systems (and note, sometimes we say this about people too) seems to be a failure to think logically. Perhaps expert systems with sufficiently detailed logical data sets could enable more complex frameworks for decision making, and allow systems to dynamically create and run judgment calls with the NN classifier IDs and confidence levels as input sources.
I'm not involved in automated driving software but that's how I always guessed it worked (in addition to state machines). Is that not the case? Can anyone with experience confirm or deny?
A quick google search shows there are scholarly papers (IEEE, etc.) from earlier this year about the use of expert systems in automated driving. Ha, should have googled that idea first.
