Abstract

Techniques are described herein for encoding driving scenarios based on the characterizations of interactions between pairs or groups of agents within the driving scenarios. Additional techniques are described herein for executing driving simulations and using machine-learned (ML) classifier models to triage collisions and other interactions within the driving simulations. Further techniques are described for controlling agents and/or managing agent interactions within such driving simulations in a more realistic manner, including determining agent right-of-way and/or resolving headlock negotiations between programmatic agents in the simulations.
