Abstract
A system and related method determines implicit lane boundaries by generating a bird's eye view of a portion of a road having a first lane and a second lane from environment data having information related to the road, overlaying a grid having cells onto the bird's eye view of the portion of the road, determining cells of the grid that form at least portions of the first lane of the road, determining cells of the grid that form at least portions of the second lane of the road, and determining a probability for one or more cells of the grid indicating a likelihood that a vehicle will travel upon portions of the road represented by the cells of the grid when traveling from the first lane to the second lane. The probability for one or more cells of the grid may be generated by a neural network trained with training data.
