Abstract
An autonomous vehicle can plan a path of the autonomous vehicle at an intersection where cyclists are also present. The autonomous vehicle includes an imaging device and processing circuitry configured to receive information from the imaging device and then identify a position of a cyclist in a traffic intersection based on the information from the imaging device. Additionally, a future path of the cyclist is predicted based on the position of the cyclist in the traffic intersection and a path of the autonomous vehicle is planned based on the predicted future path of the cyclist. Further, it can be determine if the cyclist followed the predicted future path, and the planned path of the autonomous vehicle is updated in response to the cyclist not following the predicted future path.
