    摘要: Example embodiments relate to methods and systems for automatic problematic maneuver detection and adapted motion planning. A computing device may obtain a route for navigation by a vehicle and a set of vehicle parameters corresponding to the vehicle. Each vehicle parameter can represent a physical attribute of the vehicle. The computing device may generate a virtual vehicle that represents the vehicle based on the set of vehicle parameters and perform a simulation that involves the virtual vehicle navigating the route. Based on the results of the simulation, the computing device may provide the original route or a modified route to the vehicle for the vehicle to subsequently navigate to its destination. In some cases, the simulation may further factor additional conditions, such as potential weather and traffic conditions that are likely to occur during the time when the vehicle plans on navigating the route.

    摘要: An information processing method, and a program that allow travelable areas to be appropriately selected according to performances, functions, and types of sensors that a vehicle includes, to realize appropriate automatic driving while avoiding critical states. Traveling possibility or impossibility information of every sensor category set according to types and performances of sensors with which vehicles are equipped, of a path of every area is acquired, and it is determined whether or not a route to a destination is most appropriate, on the basis of the sensor category of an own car, and the traveling possibility or impossibility information. If the route is not most appropriate, replanning is performed.

    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling the motion of an autonomous are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data associated with an object within a surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle. The data associated with the object is indicative of a predicted motion trajectory of the object. The method includes determining a vehicle action sequence based at least in part on the predicted motion trajectory of the object. The vehicle action sequence is indicative of a plurality of vehicle actions for the autonomous vehicle at a plurality of respective time steps associated with the predicted motion trajectory. The method includes determining a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle action sequence. The method includes causing the autonomous vehicle to initiate motion control in accordance with at least a portion of the motion plan.
