CARVE: Certified Affordable Repair of Vetoed Maneuvers via Envelopes for Interactive Driving
arXiv:2606.02641v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Interactive driving exposes a failure mode that is easy to miss in rule-aware autonomous-driving stacks: a hard-rule margin can be negative for an ego candidate even though a small lawful accommodation by a non-priority agent would restore feasibility. Existing rulebooks, shields, and reachability filters are strong at vetoing unsafe actions, while prediction-based planners model likely responses. Neither returns a runtime proof object that states which bounded multi-agent edit repairs the maneuver, who owns the edit, whether the request is rig
The increasing complexity of autonomous driving systems requires robust solutions for interactive scenarios, pushing research towards more sophisticated and certifiable maneuver repair mechanisms.
This development addresses a critical safety and reliability gap in autonomous driving by enabling certified and explainable repair of vetoed maneuvers, accelerating trust and deployment.
Autonomous vehicles can now theoretically demonstrate how a constrained maneuver could be made feasible through minimal, auditable adjustments by other agents, improving safety and efficiency in shared environments.
