  • Patent number: 11966228
    Abstract: In various examples, a current claimed set of points representative of a volume in an environment occupied by a vehicle at a time may be determined. A vehicle-occupied trajectory and at least one object-occupied trajectory may be generated at the time. An intersection between the vehicle-occupied trajectory and an object-occupied trajectory may be determined based at least in part on comparing the vehicle-occupied trajectory to the object-occupied trajectory. Based on the intersection, the vehicle may then execute the first safety procedure or an alternative procedure that, when implemented by the vehicle when the object implements the second safety procedure, is determined to have a lesser likelihood of incurring a collision between the vehicle and the object than the first safety procedure.

  • Publication number: 20240116538
    Abstract: In various examples, sensor data may be collected using one or more sensors of an ego-vehicle to generate a representation of an environment surrounding the ego-vehicle. The representation may include lanes of the roadway and object locations within the lanes. The representation of the environment may be provided as input to a longitudinal speed profile identifier, which may project a plurality of longitudinal speed profile candidates onto a target lane. Each of the plurality of longitudinal speed profiles candidates may be evaluated one or more times based on one or more sets of criteria. Using scores from the evaluation, a target gap and a particular longitudinal speed profile from the longitudinal speed profile candidates may be selected. Once the longitudinal speed profile for a target gap has been determined, the system may execute a lane change maneuver according to the longitudinal speed profile.

  • Patent number: 11926346
    Abstract: In various examples, a yield scenario may be identified for a first vehicle. A wait element is received that encodes a first path for the first vehicle to traverse a yield area and a second path for a second vehicle to traverse the yield area. The first path is employed to determine a first trajectory in the yield area for the first vehicle based at least on a first location of the first vehicle at a time and the second path is employed to determine a second trajectory in the yield area for the second vehicle based at least on a second location of the second vehicle at the time. To operate the first vehicle in accordance with a wait state, it may be determined whether there is a conflict between the first trajectory and the second trajectory, where the wait state defines a yielding behavior for the first vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20240059285
    Abstract: In various examples, techniques for using future trajectory predictions for adaptive cruise control (ACC) are described. For instance, a vehicle may determine a future path(s) of the vehicle and a future path(s) of an object(s). The vehicle may then use a speed profile(s) and the future path(s) to determine a trajectory(ies) for the vehicle. The vehicle may then select a trajectory, such as based on the future path(s) of the object(s). Based on the trajectory, ACC of the vehicle may cause the vehicle to navigate at a speed or a velocity. This way, the vehicle is able to continue using ACC even when the driver makes a maneuver(s) or the system determined to make a maneuver, such as switching lanes or choosing a lane when a road splits.

  • Publication number: 20240053749
    Abstract: To determine a path through a pose configuration space, trajectories of poses may be evaluated in parallel based at least on translating the trajectories along at least one axis of the pose configuration space (e.g., an orientation axis). A trajectory may include at least a portion of a turn having a fixed turn radius. Turns or turn portions that have the same turn radius and initial orientation can be translatively shifted along and processed in parallel along the orientation axis as they are translated copies of each other, but with different starting points. Trajectories may be evaluated based at least on processing variables used to evaluate reachability as bit vectors with threads effectively performing large vector operations in synchronization. A parallel reduction pattern may be used to account for dependencies that may exist between sections of a trajectory for evaluating reachability, allowing for the sections to be processed in parallel.

  • Publication number: 20230341234
    Abstract: In various examples, a lane planner for generating lane planner output data based on a state and probabilistic action space is provided. A driving system—that operates based on a hierarchical drive planning framework—includes the lane planner and other planning and control components. The lane planner processes lane planner input data (e.g., large lane graph, source node, target node) to generate lane planner output data (e.g., expected time rewards). The driving system can also include a route planner (e.g., a first planning layer) that operates to provide the lane planner input data to the lane planner. The lane planner operates as second planning layer that processes the lane planner input data based at least in part on a state and probabilistic action space of the large lane graph and calculates a time cost associated with navigating from a source node to a target node in the large lane graph.

  • Publication number: 20210354729
    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed for weighting one or more optional paths based on obstacle avoidance or other safety considerations. In some embodiments, the obstacle avoidance considerations may be computed using a comparison of trajectories representative of safety procedures at present and future projected time steps of an ego-vehicle and other actors to ensure that each actor is capable of implementing their respective safety procedure while avoiding collisions at any point along the trajectory. This comparison may include filtering out a path(s) of an actor at a time step(s)—e.g., using a one-dimensional lookup—based on spatial relationships between the actor and the ego-vehicle at the time step(s). Where a particular path—or point along the path—does not satisfy a collision-free standard, the path may be penalized more negatively with respect to the obstacle avoidance considerations, or may be removed from consideration as a potential path.
