Abstract
Exemplary embodiments include methods and systems to adjust a driving path in a planner-map, including: identifying a driving surface; determining a path on the driving surface; identifying one or more objects relative to the driving surface using one or more sensors; detecting one or more occlusion areas from sensor data from the one or more sensors; tracking one or more tracks of one or more objects within the one or more occlusion areas; adding uncertainty to the one or more tracks within the one or more occlusion areas; and adjusting the path on the driving surface based on the uncertainty of the one or more tracks within the one or more occlusion areas.
