In this work, we use the communication of intent as a means to facilitate cooperation between autonomous vehicle agents. Generally speaking, intents can be any reliable information about its future behavior that a vehicle communicates with another vehicle. We implement this as an intent-sharing task atop the merging environment in the simulator of highway-env, which provides a collection of environments for learning decision-making strategies for autonomous vehicles. Under a simple setting between two agents, we carefully investigate how intent-sharing can aid the receiving vehicle in adjusting its behavior in highway merging scenarios.
