Abstract

Methods and systems for controlling navigation of a vehicle are disclosed. The system will first identify a plurality of goal points corresponding to a drivable area that a vehicle is traversing or will traverse, where the plurality of goal points are potential targets that an uncertain road user (URU) within the drivable area can use to exit the drivable area. The system will then receive perception information relating to the URU within the drivable area, and identify a target exit point from the plurality goal points based on a score. The score is computed based on the received perception information and a loss function. The system will generate a trajectory of the URU from a current position of the URU to the target exit point, and control navigation of the vehicle to avoid collision with the URU.
