摘要
End-to-end driving frameworks, which directly map raw sensor data to vehicle control commands, have shown remarkable potential. However, their performance often deteriorates in sparse-critical scenarios, where rare but safety-sensitive events occur. To address this problem, we propose Explorer-Expert Reinforcement Learning (EE-RL), a novel end-to-end framework that integrates an RL-based explorer, a fine-tuned vision-language model (VLM)-based expert, and a dual replay buffer. EE-RL adopts a collaborative learning strategy in which an explorer and two experts jointly generate experiences from regular driving scenarios to guide policy learning. As training progresses, one of the VLMs focuses on reasoning about sparse-critical scenarios, thereby enhancing learning efficiency and policy optimization in both scenarios. Additionally, the StateHash algorithm is designed to separately measure RGB image similarity and vehicle kinematic similarity, thereby skipping unnecessary VLM reasoning and enabling denser, more effective expert experience generation. Experiments on the CARLA Leaderboard demonstrate that EE-RL significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) baselines, achieving +19.82% and +20.98% improvements in driving and infraction scores on Town03, respectively. The EE-RL further achieves 0% accident probability for red-light running and an average driving score of 80.09 in Town05-06, demonstrating robustness, generalizability, and the capability to handle sparse-critical scenarios.
