New driving model predicts split-second crash avoidance with humanlike accuracy‎

Scientists at Delft University of Technology, in collaboration with Waymo, have developed a new model that predicts with high accuracy how human drivers respond to dangerous traffic situations. For the first time, different types of collision avoidance behavior are combined into a single model. The results will be published on 10 June in Nature Communications. Waymo is already using the model to compare the performance of its autonomous vehicles with that of human drivers.
