The algorithm takes into account potentially dangerous outcomes in the near future and adjusts to each unique situation, making the best decision possible. This can be implemented in situations such as autonomous vehicles driving among pedestrians who can suddenly change direction or speed without signalling.

This research is led by Dhanvin Mehta, a final-year PhD candidate in Computer Science and Engineering. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~dhanvinm/
