Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for mapping historical information about behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. Based on the mapped historical information, a prediction is determined about a behavior of an object proximate to an autonomous vehicle at the location, where the prediction is based on a statistical analysis of the historical information that is applied to the object. One or more behaviors of the AV are affected based on the prediction.
