Curse of rarity for autonomous vehicles

The curse of rarity—the rarity of safety-critical events in high-dimensional variable spaces—presents significant challenges in ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles using deep learning. Looking at it from distinct perspectives, we identify three potential approaches for addressing the issue.
