Abstract: There is provided methods, systems, and computer-readable media for determining intention of bicycles and other person-wide vehicles. A method comprises: receiving, from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, sensor data relating to an external environment of the autonomous vehicle; detecting, based at least in part on the sensor data, a person-wide vehicle in the external environment proximate to the autonomous vehicle; determining, based at least in part on the sensor data and the person-wide vehicle, image data including the person-wide vehicle; inputting the image data to a machine-learned model; receiving, from the machine-learned model based on the image data, a future intention of the person-wide vehicle; and controlling the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the future intention of the person-wide vehicle.

Abstract: Techniques for determining that a first vehicle is associated with a reverse state, and controlling a second vehicle based on the reverse state, are described herein. In some examples, the first vehicle may provide an indication that the first vehicle will be executing a reverse maneuver, such as with reverse lights on the vehicle or by positioning at an angle relative to a road or parking space to allow for the reverse maneuver into a desired location. A planning system of the second vehicle (such as an autonomous vehicle) may receive sensor data and determine a variety of these indications to determine a probability that the vehicle is going to execute a reverse maneuver. The second vehicle can further determine a likely trajectory of the reverse maneuver and can provide appropriate accommodations (e.g., time and/or space) to allow the second vehicle to execute the maneuver safely and efficiently.

Abstract: Techniques to predict object behavior in an environment are discussed herein. For example, such techniques may include determining a trajectory of the object, determining an intent of the trajectory, and sending the trajectory and the intent to a vehicle computing system to control an autonomous vehicle. The vehicle computing system may implement a machine learned model to process data such as sensor data and map data. The machine learned model can associate different intentions of an object in an environment with different trajectories. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, can be controlled to traverse an environment based on object's intentions and trajectories.

Abstract: Techniques to predict object behavior in an environment are discussed herein. For example, such techniques may include inputting data into a model and receiving an output from the model representing a discretized representation. The discretized representation may be associated with a probability of an object reaching a location in the environment at a future time. A vehicle computing system may determine a trajectory and a weight associated with the trajectory using the discretized representation and the probability. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, can be controlled to traverse an environment based on the trajectory and the weight output by the vehicle computing system.
