  • Patent number: 11966224
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting a surprise or unexpected movement of an actor with respect to an autonomous vehicle are provided. An example computer-implemented method can include, for a first compute cycle, obtaining motion forecast data based on first sensor data collected with respect to an actor relative to an autonomous vehicle; and determining, based on the motion forecast data, failsafe region data representing an unexpected path or area where a likelihood of the actor following the unexpected path or entering the unexpected area is below a threshold. For a second compute cycle after the first compute cycle, the method can include obtaining second sensor data; determining, based on the second sensor data and the failsafe region data, that the actor has followed the unexpected path or entered the unexpected area; and in response to such determination, determining a deviation for controlling a movement of the autonomous vehicle.
