    摘要: One variation of a method for calculating nominal paths for lanes within a geographic region includes: serving a digital frame of a road segment to an annotation portal; at the annotation portal, receiving insertion of a lane marker label, for a lane marker represented in the digital frame, over the digital frame; calculating a nominal path over the road segment and defining a virtual simulator environment for the road segment based on the lane marker label; during a simulation, traversing the virtual road vehicle along the nominal path within the virtual simulator environment and scanning the virtual simulator environment for collisions between the virtual road vehicle and virtual objects within the virtual simulator environment; and, in response to absence of a collision between the virtual road vehicle and virtual objects in the virtual simulator environment, updating a navigation map for the road segment with the nominal path.

    摘要: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementation of human-like vehicle control for an autonomous vehicle. Recorded human driving data are first received, which include vehicle state data, vehicle control data, and environment data. For each piece of recorded human driving data, a vehicle kinematic model based vehicle control signal is generated in accordance with a vehicle kinematic model based on a corresponding vehicle state and vehicle control data of the piece of recorded human driving data. A human-like vehicle control model is obtained, via machine learning, based on the recorded human driving data as well as the vehicle kinematic model based vehicle control signal generated based on vehicle kinematic model. Such derived human-like vehicle control model is to be used to generate a human-like vehicle control signal with respect to a target motion of an autonomous vehicle to achieve human-like vehicle control behavior.

    摘要: State of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) is measured and stored for a location and speed of the ADV. Later, the state of the ADV is measured for the location and speed corresponding to a previously stored state of the ADV at the same location and speed. Fields of the measured stored states of the ADV are compared. If one or more differences between the measured and stored ADV states exceeds a threshold, then one or more control input parameters of the ADV is adjusted, such as steering, braking, or throttle. Differences may be attributable to road conditions or to state of servicing of the ADV. Differences between measured and stored states of the ADV can be passed to a service module. Service module can access crowd sourced data to determine whether one or more control input parameters for a driving state of one or more ADVs should be updated.
