  • Patent number: 11814075
    Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for conditional motion predictions. The techniques include generating, by a planning circuit, a set of candidate trajectories for a vehicle based on possible macro actions by the vehicle, predicting, by the planning circuit and for at least some trajectories in the set of candidate trajectories, a response by a target vehicle to the respective trajectory and a probability of the response by the target vehicle, selecting, by the planning circuit, a trajectory from the set of candidate trajectories based at least in part on the response by the target vehicle to the trajectory, the probability of the response by the target vehicle, and characteristics of the trajectory, and operating, by a control circuit, the vehicle based on the selected trajectory.
    Type: Grant
