LATERAL MANEUVER PLANNER FOR AUTOMATED DRIVING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An automated driving system, comprising:
- one or more sensors disposed on a vehicle; and
a computing device in communication with the one or more sensors, comprising;
one or more processors for controlling the operations of the computing device; and
a memory for storing data and program instructions used by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to;
determine, based on information specific to the environment surrounding the vehicle, one or more potential vehicle paths;
receive, based on input from the one or more sensors disposed on the vehicle, an indication classifying one or more objects proximate to the one or more potential vehicle paths as an object of interest;
select, based on properties of the one or more objects of interest, a preferred vehicle path from the one or more potential vehicle paths; and
send a command, to one or more vehicle systems, to control the vehicle to follow the preferred vehicle path.

Abstract
A system, device, and methods of automated driving are disclosed. One example method includes determining one or more potential vehicle paths based on information specific to the environment surrounding a vehicle and receiving an indication classifying one or more objects proximate to the one or more potential vehicle paths as an object of interest based on input received from one or more sensors disposed on the vehicle. The method further includes selecting a preferred vehicle path from the one or more potential vehicle paths based on properties of the one or more objects of interest and sending a command, to one or more vehicle systems, to control the vehicle to follow the preferred vehicle path.
