Abstract: This disclosure describes an autonomous vehicle configured to obtain sensor data associated with objects proximate a projected route of the autonomous vehicle, determine static constraints that limit a trajectory of the autonomous vehicle along the projected route based on non-temporal risks associated with a first subset of the f objects, predict a position and speed of the autonomous vehicle as a function of time along the projected route based on the static constraints, identify temporal risks associated with a second subset of the objects based on the predicted position and speed of the autonomous vehicle, determine dynamic constraints that further limit the trajectory of the autonomous vehicle along the projected route to help the autonomous vehicle avoid the temporal risks associated with the second subset of the objects, and adjust the trajectory of the autonomous vehicle in accordance with the static constraints and the dynamic constraints.

Abstract: Among other things, we describe techniques for electric power steering torque compensation. Techniques are provided for a method implemented by a computer, e.g., a computer onboard an autonomous vehicle. A planning circuit onboard the vehicle and connected to an EPS of the vehicle determines a compensatory torque signal to modify an actual steering angle of a steering wheel of the vehicle to match an expected steering angle of the steering wheel. The planning circuit transmits the compensatory torque signal to a control circuit that controls the steering angle of the steering wheel. The EPS modifies the actual steering angle based on the compensatory torque signal resulting in a modified steering angle. The control circuit operates the vehicle based on the modified steering angle.

Abstract: Provided are methods for graph forward search exploration, which can include detecting a plurality of obstacles along a first trajectory of a vehicle. Some methods described also include determining a plurality of valid combinations of a plurality of trajectories to handle the plurality of obstacles. Some methods described also include generating a reduced decision tree based at least on the valid combinations of the plurality of trajectories by at least excluding a second trajectory of the plurality of trajectories associated with an obstacle of a plurality of obstacles based on a position of the obstacle being outside of a corridor defined by a spatial range and/or a temporal range. Some methods described also include selecting an optimal trajectory of the vehicle from the plurality of trajectories of the reduced decision tree. Systems and computer program products are also provided.

Abstract: The subject matter described in this specification is generally directed control architectures for an autonomous vehicle. In one example, a reference trajectory, a set of lateral constraints, and a set of speed constraints are received using a control circuit. The control circuit determines a set of steering commands based at least in part on the reference trajectory and the set of lateral constraints and a set of speed commands based at least in part on the set of speed constraints. The vehicle is navigated, using the control circuit, according to the set of steering commands and the set of speed commands.
