A computer implemented method for determining a maneuver to be executed by an autonomous vehicle comprises the following steps carried out by computer hardware components: determining a plurality of potential maneuvers; determining a subset of the potential maneuvers based on a pre-determined condition; determining a mask based on the subset; determining an output of a fully connected layer of a neural network; determining a dot product of the output of the fully connected layer and the mask; and determining the maneuver to be executed based on the dot product.

Methods and systems for determining a maneuver to be executed by an autonomous vehicle

The present disclosure enables a collection of training data suitable for training an autonomous driving system of a vehicle. A database is provided that stores predefined road scenarios, and user devices are provided with a simulation game for controlling a vehicle agent in a road scenario. A plurality of user devices, running the simulation game, play a road scenario from the database to control a vehicle agent in the simulation game with steering actions entered by individual users, which generates a human demonstration of each road scenario that is played. Several human demonstrations played on the plurality of user devices can be maintained by a demonstration database and made available as training data suitable for training an autonomous driving system of a vehicle. A large amount of training data can be automatically generated, without requiring expensive or time-consuming real-world tests to generate suitable training data manually.

Method and system of collecting training data suitable for training an autonomous driving system of a vehicle

A method for planning the motion of a vehicle includes: determining a nominal trajectory for the vehicle based on a desired maneuver to be carried out in a traffic space, on a current state of movement of the vehicle and on a detected state of a surrounding of the vehicle, and determining an abort trajectory branching off from the nominal trajectory and guiding the vehicle to a safe condition regardless of the desired maneuver, wherein the nominal trajectory and the abort trajectory are determined simultaneously using a single optimization process.
