Abstract

A system and method estimate a future path ahead of a current location of a vehicle. The system includes at least one processor programmed to obtain a trained system that was trained to estimate a future path on a first plurality of images of environments ahead of vehicles navigating roads. The at least one processor is also programmed to obtain an image of an environment ahead of a current arbitrary location of a vehicle navigating a road, and provide, based on an application of the trained system to the obtained image, an estimated future path of the vehicle ahead of the current arbitrary location.
