Abstract
Methods and systems for autonomously controlling a first vehicle with a forward vehicle intends to park. An image sensor is mounted to the first vehicle and is configured to generate image data associated with a scene surrounding the first vehicle, wherein the scene includes the forward vehicle located ahead of the first vehicle. A processor is mounted to the first vehicle and communicatively coupled to the image sensor. The processor is programmed to process the image data to identify a plurality of parking spaces, a first roadway lane adjacent to the plurality of parking spaces, and a second roadway lane adjacent to the first roadway lane. The processor determines a speed of the forward vehicle, and classifies the forward vehicle as intending to park based on sensed conditions. In response to the forward vehicle being classified as intending to park, the processor issues commands to maneuver the vehicle accordingly.
