    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to navigational systems for vehicles. In one implementation, such a navigational system may receive a plurality of images captured by an image capture device onboard the host vehicle, the plurality of images being associated with an environment of the host vehicle; analyze at least one of the plurality of images to identify the target vehicle and at least one wheel component on a side of the target vehicle; determine, based on an analysis of at least two of the plurality of images, a rotation of the at least one wheel component of the target vehicle; and cause at least one navigational change of the host vehicle based on the rotation of the at least one wheel component of the target vehicle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating a host vehicle. At least one processing device may be programmed to receive an image of an environment of the host vehicle; detect, based on analysis of the image, a pedestrian crosswalk in the image; detect a presence of a traffic light and determine whether the traffic light is relevant to the host vehicle and the pedestrian crosswalk; determine a state of the traffic light; determine, when a pedestrian appears in the image, a proximity of the pedestrian relative to the pedestrian crosswalk; determine a planned navigational action for navigating the host vehicle relative to the pedestrian crosswalk based on a driving policy, the state of the traffic light and the proximity of the pedestrian relative to the pedestrian crosswalk; and cause one or more actuator systems of the host vehicle to implement the planned navigational action.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system for detecting whether a road on which a host vehicle travels is a one-way road may include at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive at least one image associated with an environment of the host vehicle, identify a first plurality of vehicles on a first side of the road, identify a second plurality of vehicles on a second side of the road, determine a first facing direction associated with the first plurality of vehicles, determine a second facing direction associated with the second plurality of vehicles, and cause at least one navigational change of the host vehicle when the first facing direction and the second facing direction are both opposite to a heading direction of the host vehicle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system for navigating a host vehicle based on detecting a door opening event may include at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive at least one image associated with the environment of the host vehicle, analyze the at least one image to identify a side of a parked vehicle, identify a first structural feature of the parked vehicle and a second structural feature of the parked vehicle, identify a door edge of the parked vehicle in a vicinity of the first and second structural features, determine a change of an image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle, and alter a navigational path of the host vehicle based at least in part on the change of the image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for vehicle navigation. In one implementation, a system may comprise an interface to obtain sensing data of an environment of the host vehicle. A processing device may be configured to determine a planned navigational action for the host vehicle; identify a target vehicle in the environment of the host vehicle; predict a resulting distance between the host and target vehicles if the planned action were taken; determine a host vehicle stopping distance based on a braking rate, maximum acceleration capability, and current speed of the host vehicle; determine a target vehicle stopping distance based on a braking rate and current speed of the target vehicle; and continue with the planned navigational action while the predicted distance is greater than a minimum safe longitudinal distance calculated based on the host vehicle stopping distance and the target vehicle stopping distance.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system for determining a predicted state of a parked vehicle in an environment of a host vehicle may include an image capture device, an infrared image capture device, and at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive a plurality of images associated with the environment of the host vehicle, analyze at least one of the plurality of images to identify the parked vehicle, analyze at least two of the plurality of images to identify a change in an illumination state of at least one light associated with the parked vehicle, receive at least one thermal image of the parked vehicle, determine the predicted state of the parked vehicle, and cause at least one navigational response by the host vehicle based on the predicted state of the parked vehicle.
