Abstract: A motion planning system and method for motion planning of an autonomous vehicle are provided, wherein a motion planning system determines a plurality of configuration samples through a configuration space, wherein the configuration samples are determined in predefined sampling steps, wherein a sequence of configuration samples defines a possible trajectory of the vehicle in the configuration space, wherein the plurality of configuration samples in each sampling step, are determined in parallel by using at least one graphics processing unit of the motion planning system, wherein sequences of configuration samples are calculated from all configuration samples by predefined motion criteria, and wherein the calculated sequences of configuration samples are provided as vehicle trajectories for motion of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of automatically controlling a motor vehicle may involve generating environment data and the data being taken as a basis for determining a concealed region of a field of view. A reference point on a boundary between the concealed region and an unconcealed region of the field of view is determined, and at least two risk zones, each risk zone having the reference point as the centre, may be determined. A risk zone of the risk zones (Sa, Sb, Sc) may be assigned a risk characteristic, and the motor vehicle may be controlled on the basis of the risk characteristics.
