  • AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE OPERATIONS RELATED TO DETECTION OF AN UNSAFE PASSENGER PICKUP/DELIVERY CONDITION
    Publication number: 20230182772
    Abstract: A passenger may be rather vulnerable to safety risks during pickup and/or drop-off of a passenger by a vehicle. To mitigate or eliminate such risk, the vehicle may determine an endpoint for a vehicle route to pickup or drop-off a passenger at a location. The vehicle may determine an estimated path between the endpoint and the location and may determine a safety confidence score by a machine-learned model for the estimated path and/or may predict a trajectory of a detected object to ascertain whether the estimated path is safe. The vehicle may execute any of a number of different mitigation actions to reduce or eliminate a safety risk if one is detected.
