Abstract
A method may include monitoring, by a processor associated with an autonomous vehicle, a status of a traffic light. The method may include monitoring, by the processor, a movement status of at least one vehicle within a same lane as the autonomous vehicle, the at least one vehicle having a stationary position in relation to the traffic light. The method may include executing, by the processor, a computer model to predict a change of movement status for the at least one vehicle in accordance with the status of the traffic light. The method may include in response to the computer model predicting a change of movement status for the at least one vehicle from the stationary position to a moving status, instructing, by the processor, the autonomous vehicle to increase a torque value of the autonomous vehicle at a predetermined time before the change of the movement status.
