arXiv:2605.20255v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Simulation-based testing of self-driving cars (SDCs) typically relies on scripted pedestrian models that do not capture the heterogeneity and uncertainty of real crossing behavior, limiting the realism of safety assessments, especially for jaywalking, which is governed by latent personality traits the vehicle cannot observe. We hypothesize that jointly training pedestrians and the SDC with multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) yields more realistic interaction scenarios than training against fixed pedestrian policies, and that the behavior gap between predictable and unpredictable crossings can be measured directly from trajectories.
