Abstract
An autonomous vehicle includes sensor subsystem(s) that output a sensor signal. A perception subsystem (i) detects an agent in a vicinity of the autonomous vehicle and (ii) generates a motion signal that describes at least one of a past motion or a present motion of the agent. An intention prediction subsystem processes the sensor signal to generate an intention signal that describes at least one intended action of the agent. A behavior prediction subsystem processes the motion signal and the intention signal to generate a behavior prediction signal that describes at least one predicted behavior of the agent. A planner subsystem processes the behavior prediction signal to plan a driving decision for the autonomous vehicle.
