Autonomous vehicle entity vector-based situational awareness scoring matrix

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes:
• detecting, while piloting a route to a destination location using an autonomous vehicle, a plurality of road entities;
• assigning, by the autonomous vehicle, each of the plurality of road entities a provisional unique identifier, wherein a plurality of provisional unique identifiers comprises each provisional unique identifier;
• receiving an indication from an external source of at least one certified object identifier associated respectively with at least one of the plurality of provisional unique identifiers, wherein the at least one certified object identifier respectively indicates at least one of the plurality of the road entities to the vehicle and the external source, wherein the at least one certified object identifier is configured to be shared among a plurality of vehicles using peer-to-peer wireless communication;
• receiving, from at least one of the plurality of vehicles and using peer-to-peer wireless communication, external information associated with one or more of the at least one certified object identifier;
• determining, based upon a collision risk presented by the plurality of road entities to an autonomous vehicle, a score associated with each road entity of the plurality of road entities, wherein at least one score is based on the external information;
• determining, based on the score for each road entity of the plurality of road entities, a score associated with a risk of collision;
• determining, based on the risk of collision, accident avoidance and mitigation calculations with respect to each road entity of the plurality of road entities;
• determining a presence of a traffic control signal;
• and
• piloting, based on the accident avoidance and mitigation calculations and determining the presence of the traffic control signal, the autonomous vehicle to a destination location.

A device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the device to:
• detecting, while piloting a route to a destination location using an autonomous vehicle, a plurality of road entities;
• assigning, by the autonomous vehicle, each of the plurality of road entities a provisional unique identifier, wherein a plurality of provisional unique identifiers comprises each provisional unique identifier;
• receiving an indication from an external source of at least one certified object identifier associated respectively with at least one of the plurality of provisional unique identifiers, wherein the at least one certified object identifier respectively indicates at least one of the plurality of the road entities to the vehicle and the external source, wherein the at least one certified object identifier is configured to be shared among a plurality of vehicles using peer-to-peer wireless communication;
• receiving, from at least one of the plurality of vehicles and using peer-to-peer wireless communication, external information associated with one or more of the at least one certified object identifier;
• determine, based upon a collision risk presented by the plurality of road entities to an autonomous vehicle, a score associated with each road entity of the plurality of road entities, wherein at least one score is based on the external information;
• determine, based on the score for each road entity of the plurality of road entities, a score associated with a risk of collision;
• and
• determine, based on the risk of collision, accident avoidance and mitigation calculations with respect to each road entity of the plurality of road entities;
• determine a presence of a traffic control signal;
• and
• pilot, based on the accident avoidance and mitigation calculations and determining the presence of the traffic control signal, the autonomous vehicle to a destination location.
