Abstract
A high-level vehicle command is determined based on a location of the vehicle with respect to a route including a start location and a finish location. An image is acquired of the vehicle external environment. Steering, braking, and powertrain commands are determined based on inputting the high-level command and the image into a Deep Neural Network. The vehicle is operated by actuating vehicle components based on the steering, braking and powertrain commands.
