Abstract
Systems and methods described herein relate to vehicular navigation and localization. One embodiment extracts perceptual features from sensor data; extracts unrouted-map features from unrouted map data; combines the perceptual features and the unrouted-map features to produce first combined features data; outputs, based at least in part on the first combined features data, parameters of a probability distribution for one or more steering trajectories that are available to a vehicle; and performs a localization of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the parameters of the probability distribution.
