Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating communication with autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can obtain rasterized LIDAR data associated with a surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle. The rasterized LIDAR data can include LIDAR image data that is rasterized from a LIDAR point cloud. The computing system can access data indicative of a machine-learned lane boundary detection model. The computing system can input the rasterized LIDAR data associated with the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle into the machine-learned lane boundary detection model. The computing system can obtain an output from the machine-learned lane boundary detection model. The output can be indicative of one or more lane boundaries within the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle.
