System and method for predicting behaviors of detected objects
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- controlling, by one or more processors, a vehicle according to a first control strategy;
detecting, by the one or more processors, an object at a location external to the vehicle using one or more sensors;
predicting, by the one or more processors, a future behavior of the detected object based on the detected location of the object, a time when the object was detected, and behavior data that indicates how other objects have operated at the detected location at a similar time; and
modifying, by the one or more processors, the first control strategy to obtain a second control strategy for controlling the vehicle based on the predicted future behavior of the detected object.

8. A system comprising one or more processors configured to:
-
control a vehicle according to a first control strategy; detect an object at a location external to the vehicle using one or more sensors; predict a future behavior of the detected object based on the detected location of the object, a time when the object was detected, and behavior data that indicates how other objects have operated at the detected location at a similar time; and modify the first control strategy to obtain a second control strategy for controlling the vehicle based on the predicted future behavior of the detected object. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

15. A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable storage medium on which computer readable instructions of a program are stored, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
controlling a vehicle according to a first control strategy; detecting an object at a location external to the vehicle using one or more sensors; predicting a future behavior of the detected object based on the detected location of the object, a time when the object was detected, and behavior data that indicates how other objects have operated at the detected location at a similar time; and modifying the first control strategy to obtain a second control strategy for controlling the vehicle based on the predicted future behavior of the detected object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
