Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for navigating a host vehicle. At least one processing device may be programmed to receive an image of an environment of the host vehicle; detect, based on analysis of the image, a pedestrian crosswalk in the image; detect a presence of a traffic light and determine whether the traffic light is relevant to the host vehicle and the pedestrian crosswalk; determine a state of the traffic light; determine, when a pedestrian appears in the image, a proximity of the pedestrian relative to the pedestrian crosswalk; determine a planned navigational action for navigating the host vehicle relative to the pedestrian crosswalk based on a driving policy, the state of the traffic light and the proximity of the pedestrian relative to the pedestrian crosswalk; and cause one or more actuator systems of the host vehicle to implement the planned navigational action.
