Abstract

The disclosed systems and techniques are directed to evaluation of suitability of stopping locations of a vehicle using a generative AI model. The disclosed techniques include collecting, using a sensing system, sensing data for a driving environment of the vehicle and generating a prompt for a generative artificial intelligence (AI) model. The prompt includes spatial data characterizing the driving environment, including the sensing data and/or spatial arrangement of object(s) identified based on the sensing data and a request to determine, using the spatial data, whether the vehicle is obstructing traffic. The techniques further include causing the generative AI model to process the prompt and generate a response indicating that the vehicle is obstructing traffic and causing the vehicle to be repositioned to avoid obstructing traffic in the driving environment.
