  • Patent number: 11474532
    Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving the prediction efficiency of autonomous/semi-autonomous vehicles. In one embodiment, the system generates a provisional prediction according to sensor data from at least one sensor of a subject vehicle. The prediction can be associated with an aspect relating to operating the subject vehicle along a path. The system analyzes the provisional prediction in relation to a subsequent prediction about the aspect to determine a correspondence between the provisional prediction and the subsequent prediction. In response to determining that the correspondence satisfies an inaccuracy threshold, the system can store the provisional prediction and the sensor data associated with the provisional prediction to log potential inaccuracies in generating predictions based, at least in part, on the sensor data.
