    Abstract: A data-driven prediction-based system and method for trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: generating a first suggested trajectory for an autonomous vehicle; generating predicted resulting trajectories of proximate agents using a prediction module; scoring the first suggested trajectory based on the predicted resulting trajectories of the proximate agents; generating a second suggested trajectory for the autonomous vehicle and generating corresponding predicted resulting trajectories of proximate agents, if the score of the first suggested trajectory is below a minimum acceptable threshold; and outputting a suggested trajectory for the autonomous vehicle wherein the score corresponding to the suggested trajectory is at or above the minimum acceptable threshold.

    Abstract: A prediction-based system and method for trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles is configured to: receive data from a training data collection system, the training data including perception data and context data corresponding to human driving behaviors; perform a training phase for training a trajectory prediction module using the training data; receive perception data associated with a host vehicle; and perform an operational phase for extracting host vehicle feature data and proximate vehicle context data from the perception data, generating a proposed trajectory for the host vehicle, using the trained trajectory prediction module to generate predicted trajectories for each of one or more proximate vehicles near the host vehicle based on the proposed host vehicle trajectory, determining if the proposed trajectory for the host vehicle will conflict with any of the predicted trajectories of the proximate vehicles, and modifying the proposed trajectory for the host vehicle until conflicts are eliminated.

    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) includes features that allows the AV to comply with applicable regulations and statutes for performing safe driving operation. An example method includes detecting that a group of motorcycles is operating on a roadway on which the AV is located. The group of motorcycles are each located within a pre-determined distance away from one another. The method further includes determining an aggregate footprint area that surrounds respective locations of the group of motorcycles. The method further includes causing navigation of the autonomous vehicle that avoids penetration of the aggregate footprint area based on transmitting navigation instructions to one or more subsystems of the autonomous vehicle.

    Abstract: An example method includes detecting, via sensor data collected from sensors located on the AV, an upcoming object located on a roadway. The method further includes determining, from the sensor data, a relative distance and a relative direction of the upcoming object with respect to the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes mapping the upcoming object to an absolute location with respect to the roadway based on map data that describes upcoming topology of the roadway and a location of the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes associating the upcoming object with a lane of the roadway based on the absolute location mapped to the upcoming object and based on lane geometry data for the roadway. The method further includes operating the autonomous vehicle based on a relationship between the lane associated with the upcoming object and a current lane in which the autonomous vehicle is located.
