Abstract
Methods and devices for generating data for controlling a Self-Driving Car (SDC) are disclosed. The method includes: (i) acquiring a predicted object trajectory for an object, (ii) acquiring a set of anchor points along the lane for the SDC, (iii) for each one of the set of anchor points, determining a series of future moments in time when the SDC is potentially located at the respective one of the set of anchor points, thereby generating a matrix structure including future position-time pairs, (iv) for each future position-time pair in the matrix structure, using the predicted object trajectory for determining a distance between a closest object to the SDC as if the SDC is located at the respective future position-time pair, and (v) storing the distance between the closest object to the SDC in association with the respective future position-time pair in the matrix structure.
