Abstract
A computer-implemented method that, when executed by data processing hardware of a vehicle, causes the data processing hardware to perform operations is provided. The operations include gathering sensor data, calculating one or more groove detection confidence values with the sensor data using one or more groove detection modules, evaluating the one or more groove detection confidence values using a road groove detection fusion module, determining whether a road groove is detected, communicating road groove data to an advanced driver-assistance system, and adapting trajectory and steering controls of the vehicle.
