Abstract
Methods and systems to predict object movement within a driving environment is disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more objects are detected within the driving environment. One or more predicted trajectories are computed for each of the objects based on map and route information to produce a set of predicted trajectories for the objects. The set of predicted trajectories is used to enumerate a number of combinations of predicted trajectories on which the objects possibly travel within the driving environment. A risk value is computed for each of the combinations to generate a number of corresponding risk values. An autonomous vehicle is controlled based on a combination having a lowest risk value included in the corresponding risk values.
