The massive deployment of autonomous vehicles in the coming years offers a great potential for improving urban mobility. An open question is how to coordinate selfdriving cars at intersections, which we will address in this project. Since traffic conditions change constantly, a promising alternative to develop adaptive coordination mechanisms is to use self-organization. We have already developed self-organizing algorithms for traffic light coordination with significant performance improvements over traditional coordination methods. We will follow a similar path exploring how autonomous vehicles can self-organize at intersections to maximize efficiency and safety without the need of traffic lights.
