    Abstract: In one embodiment, a control command is generated with an MPC controller, the MPC controller including a cost function with weights associated with cost terms of the cost function. The control command is applied to a dynamic model of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) to simulate behavior of the ADV. One or more of the weights are based on evaluation of the dynamic model in response to the control command, resulting in an adjusted cost function of the MPC controller. Another control command is generated with the MPC controller having the adjusted cost function. This second control command can be used to effect movement of the ADV.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in response to a request to park an ADV into a parking lot, a remote server is accessed over a network (e.g., a VX2 link) to obtain a list of parking spaces that appear to be available in the parking lot. Based on the list of available parking spaces and the map associated with the parking lot, a route is generated to navigate through at least the available parking spaces. The ADV is driven according to the route to locate at least one of the available parking spaces and to park the ADV into the located available parking space. The centralized server is configured to periodically receive signals from a number of parking lots indicating which of the parking spaces of the parking lots are apparently available.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system/method generates a driving trajectory for an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). The system perceives an environment of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). The system determines one or more bounding conditions based on the perceived environment. The system generates a first trajectory using a neural network model, wherein the neural network model is trained to generate a driving trajectory. The system evaluates/determines if the first trajectory satisfies the one or more bounding conditions. If the first trajectory satisfies the one or more bounding conditions, the system controls the ADV autonomously according to the first trajectory. Otherwise, the system controls the ADV autonomously according to a second trajectory, where the second trajectory is generated based on an objective function, where the objective function is determined based on at least the one or more bounding conditions.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an open space model is generated for a system to plan trajectories for an ADV in an open space. The system perceives an environment surrounding an ADV including one or more obstacles. The system determines a target function for the open space model based on constraints for the one or more obstacles and map information. The system iteratively, performs a first quadratic programming (QP) optimization on the target function based on a first trajectory while fixing a first set of variables, and performs a second QP optimization on the target function based on a result of the first QP optimization while fixing a second set of variables. The system generates a second trajectory based on results of the first and the second QP optimizations to control the ADV autonomously according to the second trajectory.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a set of parameters representing a first state of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) to be simulated and a set of control commands to be issued at a first point in time. In response, a localization predictive model is applied to the set of parameters to determine a first position (e.g., x, y) of the ADV. A localization correction model is applied to the set of parameters to determine a set of localization correction factors (e.g., Δx, Δy). The correction factors may represent the errors between the predicted position of the ADV by the localization predictive model and the ground truth measured by sensors of the vehicle. Based on the first position of the ADV and the correction factors, a second position of the ADV is determined as the simulated position of the ADV.
