Abstract

A method includes encapsulating a current state of a road portion into a voxel grid, a first dimension of the voxel grid being associated with a first spatial dimension of the road portion, a second dimension of the voxel grid being associated with a second spatial dimension of the road portion, and a third dimension of the voxel grid comprising a plurality of feature layers, wherein each feature layer is associated with a feature of the road portion. The voxel grid may be input into a trained neural network and a future state of the road portion may be predicted based on an output of the neural network.
