Summary:The goal of this research is to explore the effects of social interactions between individual autonomous vehicles (AVs) in various problem scenarios. We take a look at one way to construct the social relationships and generate data from computer simulations to compare the behaviors of each. A difference can be noticed when synthetic social structures (SSS) are used to control the interactions between neighboring AVs. Our experiments show that SSSs can be used to improve team performance on a problem in which a team of AVs must maneuver through a narrow corridor to reach a goal
