  • Patent number: 11724717
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention enable an ADV to dynamically adjust its behaviors to emulate behaviors of a vehicle operated by a human driver when the ADV encounters an obstacle. A dynamic cost function can be used to collect real-time values of a set of parameters, and use the real-time values to constantly adjust a preferred safety distance where the ADV can be stopped ahead of the obstacle. An method includes determining a first distance to the obstacle in response to detecting an obstacle ahead of the ADV; and for each of a number of iterations, collecting a real-time value for each of a set of parameters, determining an offset to the first distance using the real-time value for each of the set of parameters, calculating a second distance based on the first distance and the offset, and controlling the ADV in view of the second distance using an expected value of each of the set of parameters, such that the ADV can stop at a point having the second distance to the obstacle.

  • Patent number: 11713057
    Abstract: A lateral control error of a steering system of an ADV is determined, which includes iteratively performing following operations for a predetermined time period. Whether the ADV is moving within a predetermined proximity of a current moving direction is determined. Next, whether a road condition of a road on which the ADV is driving satisfies a predetermined road condition is determined. Then, a first steering feedback of the ADV in response to a prior steering control command is measured. Thereafter, the lateral control error is determined based on at least a portion of the first steering feedback over the predetermined time period. Further, a steering command in view of the lateral control error of the steering system is generated. Finally, the steering command is applied to control the ADV to compensate the lateral control error of the steering system.
