Enclosed are embodiments of motion control operations in various traffic scenarios in consideration of the kinematic factor for trajectory planning. In some embodiments, a method includes: determining a danger rating for at least one object identified in an environment, wherein the danger rating represents a perceived risk associated with a respective object; evaluating a set of hierarchical factors with respect to a traffic scenario, wherein a metric is derived for trajectories of the traffic scenario that quantifies passenger ride comfort based on the danger rating and the set of hierarchical factors; determining a motion control operation in the traffic scenario to increase the passenger ride comfort based on the metric; and augmenting a route planner of an autonomous vehicle with motion control operations in different traffic scenarios to increase the passenger ride comfort.

Ride comfort improvement in different traffic scenarios for autonomous vehicle

Among other things, techniques are described for expressive vehicle systems. These techniques may include obtaining, with at least one processor, data associated with an environment, the environment comprising a vehicle and at least one object; determining an expressive maneuver including a deceleration of the vehicle such that the vehicle stops at least a first distance away from the at least one object and the vehicle reaches a peak deceleration when the vehicle is a second distance away from the at least one object; generating data associated with control of the vehicle based on the deceleration associated with the expressive maneuver; and transmitting the data associated with the control of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to decelerate based on the deceleration associated with the expressive maneuver.
