Techniques are described for operating a vehicle using sensor data provided by one or more ultrasonic sensors located on or in the vehicle. An example method includes receiving, by a computer located in a vehicle, data from an ultrasonic sensor located on the vehicle, where the data includes a first set of coordinates of two points associated with a location where an object is detected by the ultrasonic sensor; determining a second set of coordinates associated with a point in between the two points; performing a first determination that the second set of coordinates is associated with a lane or a road on which the vehicle is operating; performing a second determination that the object is movable; and sending, in response to the first determination and the second determination, a message that causes the vehicle to perform a driving related operation while the vehicle is operating on the road.
A vehicle operation method, comprising:
An apparatus for autonomous vehicle operation comprising a processor, configured to implement a method comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method, comprising:
