    Abstract: Systems and methods for shared autonomy through cooperative sensing are described. According to one embodiment, a cooperative sensing system includes a rendezvous module that receives broadcast messages from a plurality of cooperating vehicles on the roadway. The rendezvous module also selects a subordinate vehicle from the plurality of cooperating vehicles based on the autonomy level of the subordinate vehicle as compared to an autonomy level of a principal vehicle. The cooperative sensing system also includes a positioning module that determines a cooperative position of the principal vehicle and the subordinate vehicle. The cooperative sensing system further includes a negotiation module that receives at least one cooperating parameter from the subordinate vehicle. The cooperative sensing system includes a perception module that initiates cooperative automation the subordinate vehicle according to the at least one cooperating parameter when the principal vehicle and the subordinate vehicle are positioned in the cooperative position.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for vehicle path estimation using a vehicular communication network. The method includes receiving a first set of position measurements of a first remote vehicle and a second set of position measurements of the first remote vehicle from messages transmitted using the vehicular communication network. The method includes determining a path shape of an initial path estimate of the first remote vehicle. The initial path estimate is based on the first set of position measurements. The method includes determining a corrected vehicle path estimate of the first remote vehicle by fitting the second set of position measurements to the path shape of the initial path estimate.
