Abstract

A machine-learned model is trained using human driving data to determine a desired vehicle speed based from a set of driving-environment characteristics. An autonomous-vehicle control system obtains, from cameras, sensors, services, and data sources, a variety of sensor data. The sensor data is used to determine a set of characteristics for the driving-environment for the autonomous vehicle. Using the machine-learned model, the autonomous-vehicle control system determines a human-like desired speed for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the determined characteristics of the driving-environment.
