In-path object detection

A system comprising:

• one or more central processing units (CPUs);
• one or more graphics processing units (GPUs);
• one or more hardware accelerators;
• and
• one or more sensors having one or more fields of view or one or more sensory fields,
• wherein the system is to:
• determine, based at least on a lane geometry associated with a path of a machine, a distance between a current location of the machine and a point that is located along the path;
• determine, based at least on sensor data obtained using the one or more sensors, a location associated with an object;
• determine, based at least on the distance and the location associated with the object, whether the object is located along the path;
• and
• cause, based at least on whether the object is located along the path, the machine to perform one or more planning, navigation, or control operations.

At least one system-on-a-chip (SoC), wherein individual SoCs of the at least one SoC comprise:

• one or more central processing units (CPUs);
• one or more graphics processing units (GPUs);
• and
• one or more hardware accelerators,
• wherein the at least one SoC is to cause an autonomous vehicle to perform one or more planning, navigation, or control operations based at least on whether an object is located in a same lane as the autonomous vehicle, wherein a determination of whether the object is located in the same lane is based at least on a determined geometry of the lane and a determined location of the object.
