摘要: A processor is configured to execute instructions stored in a memory to determine, in response to identifying vehicle operational scenarios of a scene, an action for controlling the AV, where the action is from a selected decision component that determined the action based on level of certainty associated with a state factor; generate an explanation as to why the action was selected, such that the explanation includes respective descriptors of the action, the selected decision component, and the state factor; and display the explanation in a graphical view that includes a first graphical indicator of a world object of the selected decision component, a second graphical indicator describing the state factor, and a third graphical indicator describing the action.

摘要: Autonomous vehicle operation with explicit occlusion reasoning may include traversing, by a vehicle, a vehicle trans-network. Traversing the vehicle transportation network can include receiving, from a sensor of the vehicle, sensor data for a portion of a vehicle operational environment, determining, using the sensor data, a visibility grid comprising coordinates forming an unobserved region within a defined distance from the vehicle, computing a probability of a presence of an external object within the unobserved region by comparing the visibility grid to a map (e.g., a high-definition map), and traversing a portion of the vehicle transportation network using the probability. An apparatus and a vehicle are also described.

摘要: A method for use in traversing a vehicle transportation network by an autonomous vehicle (AV) includes traversing, by the AV, the vehicle transportation network. Traversing the vehicle transportation network includes identifying a distinct vehicle operational scenario; instantiating a first decision component instance; receiving a first set of candidate vehicle control actions from the first decision component instance; selecting an action; and controlling the AV to traverse a portion of the vehicle transportation network based on the action. The first decision component instance is an instance of a first decision component modeling the distinct vehicle operational scenario.

摘要: Introspective autonomous vehicle operational management includes operating an introspective autonomous vehicle operational management controller including a policy for a model of an introspective autonomous vehicle operational management domain. Operating the controller includes, in response to a determination that a current belief state of the policy indicates an exceptional condition, identifying an exception handler for controlling the autonomous vehicle. Operating the controller includes, in response to a determination that the current belief state indicates an unexceptional condition, identifying a primary handler as the active handler. Operating the controller includes controlling the autonomous vehicle to traverse a current portion of the vehicle transportation network in accordance with the active handler, receiving an indicator output by the active handler, generating an updated belief state based on the indicator, and controlling the autonomous vehicle to traverse a subsequent portion of the vehicle transportation network based on the updated belief state.

摘要: A first distinct vehicle operational scenario is identified for an autonomous vehicle (AV). A first set of candidate vehicle control actions are received from a model that provides a first solution to the first distinct vehicle operational scenario. An action is selected from the first set of candidate vehicle control actions. The AV is controlled based on the action. The first solution is obtained offline in a first idealized situation that is decoupled from a current context of the AV.

摘要: Route planning includes receiving a destination, obtaining a lane-level route to the destination using a map, and controlling an autonomous vehicle (AV) to traverse the lane-level route. The lane-level route includes a transition from a first segment of a first lane of a road to a second segment of a second lane of the road.
