Autonomous Vehicle Collision Mitigation Systems and Methods
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method implemented for controlling an autonomous vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, from an autonomy system that is separate from the computing system, data indicative of a planned trajectory of the autonomous vehicle through a surrounding environment;
determining, by the computing system, a region of interest in the surrounding environment based at least in part on the planned trajectory;
controlling, by the computing system, one or more first sensors to obtain data indicative of the region of interest;
identifying, by the computing system, one or more objects in the region of interest based at least in part on the data obtained by the one or more first sensors; and
controlling, by the computing system, the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the one or more objects identified in the region of interest.

Abstract
Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining, from an autonomy system, data indicative of a planned trajectory of the autonomous vehicle through a surrounding environment. The method includes determining a region of interest in the surrounding environment based at least in part on the planned trajectory. The method includes controlling one or more first sensors to obtain data indicative of the region of interest. The method includes identifying one or more objects in the region of interest, based at least in part on the data obtained by the one or more first sensors. The method includes controlling the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the one or more objects identified in the region of interest.
