Abstract

Techniques for determining audio data for output by an autonomous vehicle are discussed herein. A system can determine audio data representing a frequency and a sound level for different object types in an environment. The audio data can be specific for a human or animal, and can be adjusted based on a noise level in the environment, weather, ambient light, or other criteria. A model may determine audio data for continuous output in a vicinity of a specific object or region in the environment. A sound level of the audio data may be adjusted over time base on a likelihood an intersection between a vehicle path and an object path.
