Multi-Agent RL or MARL is one of the complex problems in Autonomous Driving literature that hampers the release of fully-autonomous vehicles today. Several simulators have been in iteration after their inception to mitigate the problem of complex scenarios with multiple agents in Autonomous Driving. One such simulator–SMARTS, discusses the importance of cooperative multi-agent learning. For this problem, we discuss two approaches–MAPPO and MADDPG, which are based on-policy and off-policy RL approaches. We compare our results with the state-of-the-art results for this challenge and discuss the potential areas of improvement while discussing the explainability of these approaches in conjunction with waypoints in the SMARTS environment.
