Conformal risk control system and method for lane priority assignment

A method for generating a map for use in navigating a host vehicle relative to a road segment, the method comprising:

• receiving a representation of at least a first lane and a second lane associated with the road segment;
• providing at least one descriptor associated with the representation of the first lane and at least one descriptor associated with the representation of the second lane as input to a trained model, wherein the trained model is configured to apply a conformal prediction technique to generate an output including an indicator of which of the first lane or the second lane has navigational priority with respect to the other;
• based on the output of the trained model, storing in the map an indication of which of the first lane or the second lane has navigational priority;
• and
• distributing the map to at least one host vehicle navigation system for use in navigating the host vehicle along the road segment relative to at least one of the first lane or the second lane and further relative to the indicator of which of the first lane or the second lane has navigational priority.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for generating a map for use in navigating a host vehicle relative to a road segment according to a method, the method comprising:

• receiving a representation of at least a first lane and a second lane associated with the road segment;
• providing at least one descriptor associated with the representation of the first lane and at least one descriptor associated with the representation of the second lane as input to a trained model, wherein the trained model is configured to apply a conformal prediction technique to generate an output including an indicator of which of the first lane or the second lane has navigational priority with respect to the other;
• based on the output of the trained model, storing in the map an indication of which of the first lane or the second lane has navigational priority;
• and
• distributing the map to at least one host vehicle navigation system for use in navigating the host vehicle along the road segment relative to at least one of the first lane or the second lane and further relative to the indicator of which of the first lane or the second lane has navigational priority.
