Abstract
System and methods for causing movement of an autonomous vehicle. The methods comprise: determining candidate trajectories of the autonomous vehicle using candidate actions forecasted for a virtual doppelganger and reactive actions predicted for a non-Ego actor that is located in proximity to the autonomous vehicle; selecting first candidate trajectories of the candidate trajectories in which the autonomous vehicle has an influence on a response of the non-Ego actor; using the first candidate trajectories for the autonomous vehicle to refine the reactive actions that were predicted for the non-Ego actor; using the reactive actions that were refined to select one of the first candidate trajectories as a selected trajectory for the autonomous vehicle to follow; and causing an automation subsystem of the autonomous vehicle to move the autonomous vehicle along the selected trajectory.
