    Abstract: A system and method for autonomous vehicle control to minimize energy cost are disclosed. A particular embodiment includes: generating a plurality of potential routings and related vehicle motion control operations for an autonomous vehicle to cause the autonomous vehicle to transit from a current position to a desired destination; generating predicted energy consumption rates for each of the potential routings and related vehicle motion control operations using a vehicle energy consumption model; scoring each of the plurality of potential routings and related vehicle motion control operations based on the corresponding predicted energy consumption rates; selecting one of the plurality of potential routings and related vehicle motion control operations having a score within an acceptable range; and outputting a vehicle motion control output representing the selected one of the plurality of potential routings and related vehicle motion control operations.

    Abstract: A prediction-based system and method for trajectory planning of autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: receive training data and ground truth 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: A system and method for automated lane change control for autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A particular embodiment is configured to: receive perception data associated with a host vehicle; use the perception data to determine a state of the host vehicle and a state of proximate vehicles detected near to the host vehicle; determine a first target position within a safety zone between proximate vehicles detected in a roadway lane adjacent to a lane in which the host vehicle is positioned; determine a second target position in the lane in which the host vehicle is positioned; and generate a lane change trajectory to direct the host vehicle toward the first target position in the adjacent lane after directing the host vehicle toward the second target position in the lane in which the host vehicle is positioned.
