Abstract

The invention relates to a driving assistant adapted for active control of a vehicle based on predictions of a behavior of a detected object. A method aspect of the invention comprises accepting a first prediction of a behavior associated with the detected object from a first prediction subsystem and a second prediction from a second prediction subsystem; determining a control signal based on a combination of the first prediction and the second prediction; and initiating active control of the vehicle based on the control signal.
