1. A method of controlling an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle;
processing, by a processor, the sensor data to determine a cyclist in proximity to the vehicle;
in response to the determined cyclist, selecting, by the processor, a behavioral mode from a plurality of behavioral modes;
adjusting, by the processor, at least one control parameter based on the selected behavioral mode; and
controlling the autonomous vehicle based on the at least one control parameter.

Abstract
Systems and method are provided for controlling an autonomous vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle; processing, by a processor, the sensor data to determine a cyclist in proximity to the vehicle; in response to the determined cyclist, selecting, by the processor, a behavioral mode from a plurality of behavioral modes; adjusting, by the processor, at least one control parameter based on the selected behavioral mode; and controlling the autonomous vehicle and/or a notification light based on the at least one control parameter.

20. An autonomous vehicle, comprising:
-
A plurality of sensors disposed about the vehicle and configured to sense an exterior environment of the vehicle and to generate sensor signals; a control module configured to, by a processor, process the sensor signals to determine a cyclist in proximity to the vehicle, and in response to the determined cyclist, select a behavioral mode from a plurality of behavioral modes, adjust at least one control parameter based on the selected behavioral mode, control the autonomous vehicle based on the at least one control parameter, and generate one or more notification signals; and a notification light configured to receive the one or more notification signals and to illuminate the light to at least one of notify the cyclist that the vehicle is aware of them and notify an occupant of the vehicle to not open the door.
