Abstract: The technology relates to controlling a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode in accordance with behavior predictions for other road users in the vehicle's vicinity. In particular, the vehicle's onboard computing system may predict whether another road user will perform a “continuing” lane driving operation, such as going straight in a turn-only lane. Sensor data from detected/observed objects in the vehicle's nearby environment may be evaluated in view of one or more possible behaviors for different types of objects. In addition, roadway features, in particular whether lane segments are connected in a roadgraph, are also evaluated to determine probabilities of whether other road users may make an improper continuing lane driving operation. This is used to generate more accurate behavior predictions, which the vehicle can use to take alternative (e.g., corrective) driving actions.

Abstract: Jaywalking behaviors of vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as cyclists or pedestrians can be predicted. Location data is obtained that identifies a location of a VRU within a vicinity of a vehicle. Environmental data is obtained that describes an environment of the VRU, where the environmental data identifies a set of environmental features in the environment of the VRU. The system can determine a nominal heading of the VRU, and generate a set of predictive inputs that indicate, for each of at least a subset of the set of environmental features, a physical relationship between the VRU and the environmental feature. The physical relationship can be determined with respect to the nominal heading of the VRU and the location of the VRU. The set of predictive inputs can be processed with a heading estimation model to generate a predicted heading offset (e.g., a target heading offset) for the VRU.

Abstract: To operate an autonomous vehicle, a rail agent is detected in a vicinity of the autonomous vehicle using a detection system. One or more tracks are determined on which the detected rail agent is possibly traveling, and possible paths for the rail agent are predicted based on the determined one or more tracks. One or more motion paths are determined for one or more probable paths from the possible paths, and a likelihood for each of the one or more probable paths is determined based on each motion plan. A path for the autonomous vehicle is then determined based on a most probable path associated with a highest likelihood for the rail agent, and the autonomous vehicle is operated using the determined path.

The respective importance scores characterize a relative impact of each agent on planned trajectories generated by a planning subsystem of the autonomous vehicle. In one aspect, a method comprises providing different states of an environment as input to the planning subsystem and obtaining as output from the planning subsystem corresponding planned trajectories. Importance scores for the one or more agents that are in one state but not in the other are determined based on a measure of difference between the planned trajectories.

The system identifies, as high-priority agents, a proper subset of the plurality of agents with the highest importance scores.

Abstract: Micro-LED structures include an LED epilayer that may be formed before the micro-LED structure is coupled to a backplane substrate. In order to prevent light leakage and maximize light output, the sidewalls and other surfaces of the LED epilayer may be coated with a reflective coating. For example, the reflective coating may include a metal layer that is electrically insulated between dielectric layers from the micro-LED electrodes. The reflective coating may also be formed using multiple layers in a distributed Bragg reflector configuration. This reflective coating may be formed during the LED fabrication process before the micro-LED structure is coupled to the backplane. The pixel isolation structures on the backplane may also include a reflective coating that is applied above the LED epilayers.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide methods of modeling wrong-way driving of road users. For instance, log data including an observed trajectory of a first road user may be accessed. A first set of candidate lane segments for wrong-way driving may be identified from map information. A second set of candidate lane segments for not wrong-way driving may be identified from the map information. For each candidate lane segment in the first set and in the second set, a distance cost between the candidate lane segment and the observed trajectory may be determined. A candidate lane segment may be selected from at least one of the first set or the second set based on the determined distance costs. The selected candidate lane segment may be used to train a model to provide a likelihood of a second road user being engaged in wrong-way driving in a lane.
