COST-BASED PATH DETERMINATION

A vehicle computing system may implement techniques to determine an action for a vehicle to take based on a cost associated therewith. The cost may be based in part on the effect of the action on an object (e.g., another vehicle, bicyclist, pedestrian, etc.) operating in the environment. The vehicle...

More Information
Summary:A vehicle computing system may implement techniques to determine an action for a vehicle to take based on a cost associated therewith. The cost may be based in part on the effect of the action on an object (e.g., another vehicle, bicyclist, pedestrian, etc.) operating in the environment. The vehicle computing system may detect the object based on sensor data and determine an object trajectory based on a predicted reaction of the object to the vehicle performing the action. The vehicle computing system may determine costs associated with safety, comfort, progress, and/or operating rules for each action the vehicle could take based on the action and/or the predicted object trajectory. In some examples, the lowest cost action may be selected for the vehicle to perform.
