Injecting Traffic Rules in AI-Powered Autonomous Vehicles

Sushant Veer is a Senior Research Scientist with the Autonomous Vehicle Research Group at NVIDIA Research. His current research interests lie in developing algorithmic guardrails for AI-driven autonomous vehicles to ensure their safe deployment and to facilitate safety verification and validation. In the past, he has worked on the development of provably safe motion planners for drones and dynamic-legged robots and robust control of uncertain hybrid dynamical systems. Before joining NVIDIA, he was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Princeton University. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delaware in 2018 and a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2013.
