Radar-based lane change safety system

A system comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• and
• one or more memory units storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processing units, cause the one or more processing units to execute operations comprising:
• accumulating one or more radar detections generated using at least one sensor of a vehicle to form one or energy levels that correspond to one or more locations of the one or more radar detections;
• applying the one or more energy levels to one or more machine learning models trained to assign one or more classes to at least a portion of a zone relative to the vehicle and associated with the one or more locations;
• determining one or more safety statuses associated with the zone based at least on one or more outputs generated by one or more Machine Learning Models (MLMs) and associated with the one or more classes;
• and
• transmitting data that causes control of the vehicle based at least on the one or more safety statuses.

A processor comprising:

• one or more circuits to:
• compare one or more attributes associated with a radar detection to filter criteria, the radar detection generated using at least one sensor of a machine;
• update, based at least on the comparing, an energy level that corresponds to a location of the radar detection in a zone positioned relative to the machine;
• determine a safety status of the zone based at least on a magnitude of the energy level, and
• transmit data that causes control of the machine based at least on the determining of the safety status.
