This project focuses on developing Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques to improve decision-making in autonomous vehicles. The research aims to make AI-driven decisions more transparent and understandable by providing clear explanations for actions such as braking, accelerating, lane changes, and obstacle avoidance.
