Abstract: Examples of techniques for controlling a vehicle using an anchor line are disclosed. In one example implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a lane line quality indicator from a camera associated with a vehicle. The method further includes determining a lane line weight. The method further includes comparing the lane line quality indicator to a quality threshold to determine whether the lane line is of sufficient quality to use as an anchor line. The method further includes comparing the lane line weight to a confidence threshold to determine whether the lane line is of sufficient confidence to use as the anchor line. The method further includes, responsive to determining that at least one of the lane line is not of sufficient quality and the lane line is not of sufficient weight, generating an alternate anchor line. The method further includes controlling the vehicle using the alternate anchor line.

Abstract: The present application generally relates to vehicle control systems and an apparatus and methods to detect diagonal lane markers. In particular, the method detects a first and second lane marker, compares those lane markers against expected lane marker values. If one of the detected lane markers deviates from an expected value by an amount greater than a threshold, the method is operative to determine if a previous lane marker detection was within the threshold and to generate a vehicle trajectory in response to the non-deviating marker and an expected marker.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle includes at least one actuator configured to control vehicle steering, at least one sensor configured to detect a location of a lane boundary proximate the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to control the at least one actuator according to an autonomous driving mode. The controller is also configured to determine a width of a lane occupied by the vehicle based on a sensor reading from the at least one sensor, and, in response to the determined lane width being below a predefined with threshold, discontinue autonomous control of the at least one actuator.
