Abstract
Aspects and implementations of the present disclosure address shortcomings of the existing technology by enabling motion pattern-assisted object classification of objects in an environment of an autonomous vehicle (AV) by obtaining, from a sensing system of the AV, a plurality of return points, each return point comprising one or more velocity values and one or more coordinates of a reflecting region that reflects a signal emitted by the sensing system, identifying an association of the plurality of return points with an object in an environment of the AV, identifying, in view of the one or more velocity values of at least some of the plurality of return points, a type of the object or a type of a motion of the object, and causing a driving path of the AV to be determined in view of the identified type of the object.
