Abstract

This paper explores the advancements in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) techniques for enhancing the navigation capabilities of autonomous vehicles. With the rapid progress in the field of autonomous driving, there is an increased demand for intelligent navigation systems that can adapt to various road conditions and traffic scenarios. Deep reinforcement learning, which combines the principles of reinforcement learning with deep neural networks, has emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges. The paper presents a comprehensive review of the latest DRL algorithms and their application in autonomous vehicle navigation. It discusses the benefits and limitations of DRL-based navigation systems, highlighting the need for robustness, safety, and efficiency. Furthermore, the paper examines the impact of real-world data integration, sensor fusion, and multi-agent systems on the performance of DRL-based navigation algorithms. Through an extensive analysis of existing literature and case studies, the paper concludes with a set of recommendations for future research directions in the field of DRL for autonomous vehicle navigation.
