  • Publication number: 20230174103
    Abstract: The method can include: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of policies based on the set of inputs; determining a set of scores associated with the set of environmental policies; and evaluating the set of policies. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include operating the ego agent according to a selected policy and/or any other processes. The method functions to facilitate scoring of policies based on ‘feasibility’ for agents in an environment. Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to facilitate autonomous operation of a vehicle (e.g., based on policy-feasibility of agents in the environment). Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to facilitate intention estimation for agents in an environment.

  • Patent number: 10611371
    Abstract: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to predicting lane changes for nearby vehicles of a host vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to detecting that one or more of the nearby vehicles are present proximate to the host vehicle, collecting pose information about the nearby vehicles. The nearby vehicles are traveling proximate to the host vehicle and in a direction of the host vehicle. The method includes analyzing the pose information of the nearby vehicles using separate recurrent units of a structural recurrent neural network (S-RNN) to generate factors according to the lanes. The method includes generating prediction indicators for the nearby vehicles as a function of the factors for the lanes using the S-RNN. The method includes providing electronic outputs identifying the prediction indicators that specify a likelihood of the nearby vehicles changing between the lanes.
