Systems and methods for obstacle avoidance and path planning in autonomous vehicles

摘要

Systems and method are provided for controlling a vehicle. A path planning method for a vehicle includes establishing a first path for a first vehicle, then receiving, at the first vehicle, sensor data associated with a behavior of one or more leading vehicles observed in the vicinity of the first vehicle. The method further includes establishing a modified path that diverges from the first path based on the sensor data, then classifying, with a processor, an obstacle observed by the first vehicle as it travels along the modified path.
