Abstract
An approach to autonomous navigation of a vehicle augments a static map of an environment with a clutter map characterizing a risk of encountering an object that is not represented in the static map of the environment. For example, the clutter map may be based on locations and velocities of those objects, and route planning may avoid planning a path through locations that have a high risk of occupancy, and therefore potential delay or collision.
