First Claim
Patent Images

1. A navigation system for a host vehicle, the system comprising:

  • at least one processing device programmed to;

    receive, from a camera, a plurality of images representative of an environment of the host vehicle;

    analyze the plurality of images to identify a present navigational state associated with the host vehicle;

    determine a first potential navigational action for the host vehicle based on the identified present navigational state;

    determine a first indicator of an expected reward based on the first potential navigational action and the identified present navigational state;

    predict a first future navigational state based on the first potential navigational action;

    determine a second indicator of an expected reward associated with at least one future action determined to be available to the host vehicle in response to the first future navigational state;

    determine a second potential navigational action for the host vehicle based on the identified present navigational state;

    determine a third indicator of an expected reward based on the second potential navigational action and the identified present navigational state;

    predict a second future navigational state based on the second potential navigational action;

    determine a fourth indicator of an expected reward associated with at least one future action determined to be available to the host vehicle in response to the second future navigational state;

    select the second potential navigational action based on a determination that, while the expected reward associated with the first indicator is greater than the expected reward associated with the third indicator, the expected reward associated with the fourth indicator is greater than the expected reward associated with the first indicator; and

    cause at least one adjustment of a navigational actuator of the host vehicle in response to the selected second potential navigational action.
