Abstract
This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for assessing whether a vehicle that is positioned in an off-road parking area is exhibiting intent to enter the road. If the vehicle exhibits such intent, the system may forecast a trajectory for the vehicle. If the vehicle does not exhibit such intent, a trajectory forecast may not necessarily be required. The trajectory forecasts for vehicles that do exhibit such intent may then be used by an autonomous vehicle in motion planning operations.
