Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing knowledge distillation for autonomous vehicles. One of the methods includes obtaining sensor data characterizing an environment, wherein the sensor data has been captured by one or more sensors on-board a vehicle in the environment; processing, for each of one or more surrounding agents in the environment, a network input generated from the sensor data using a neural network to generate an agent discomfort prediction that characterizes a level of discomfort of the agent; combining the one or more agent discomfort predictions to generate an aggregated discomfort score; and providing the aggregated discomfort score to a path planning system of the vehicle in order to generate a future path of the vehicle.
