Abstract
During the autonomous driving, the movement trails or moving history of obstacles, as well as, an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) may be maintained in a corresponding buffer. For the obstacles and the ADV, the vehicle states at different points in time are maintained and stored in one or more buffers. The vehicle states representing the moving trails or moving history of the obstacles and the ADV may be utilized to reconstruct a history trajectory of the obstacles and the ADV, which may be used for a variety of purposes. For example, the moving trails or history of obstacles may be utilized to determine lane configuration of one or more lanes of a road, particularly, in a rural area where the lane markings are unclear. The moving history of the obstacles may also be utilized predict the future movement of the obstacles, tailgate an obstacle, and infer a lane line.
