Abstract
Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are configured to perform operations comprising determining a lead obstacle in front of an ego vehicle; determining an optimizable function associated with an optimized preferred following distance between the ego vehicle and the lead obstacle; and generating the optimized preferred following distance based on the optimizable function.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- determining, by a computing system, a lead obstacle in front of an ego vehicle;
- determining, by the computing system, an optimizable function associated with an optimized preferred following distance between the ego vehicle and the lead obstacle, wherein the optimized preferred following distance is an adapted automatic preventative braking (APB) distance;
- generating, by the computing system, the optimized preferred following distance based on the optimizable function;
- generating, by the computing system, a plan for movement of the ego vehicle based on minimization of the optimizable function;
- and
- controlling, by the computing system, the ego vehicle based on the plan.
A system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- determining a lead obstacle in front of an ego vehicle;
- determining an optimizable function associated with an optimized preferred following distance between the ego vehicle and the lead obstacle, wherein the optimized preferred following distance is an adapted automatic preventative braking (APB) distance;
- generating the optimized preferred following distance based on the optimizable function;
- generating a plan for movement of the ego vehicle based on minimization of the optimizable function;
- and
- controlling the ego vehicle based on the plan.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
- determining a lead obstacle in front of an ego vehicle;
- determining an optimizable function associated with an optimized preferred following distance between the ego vehicle and the lead obstacle, wherein the optimized preferred following distance is an adapted automatic preventative braking (APB) distance;
- generating the optimized preferred following distance based on the optimizable function;
- generating a plan for movement of the ego vehicle based on minimization of the optimizable function;
- and
- controlling the ego vehicle based on the plan.
