Claim 0:
1. A method of controlling a vehicle, comprising:
receiving, by a controller, perception input data from a sensor of the vehicle;
processing, by the controller, the perception input data to classify and generate parameters related to an external entity in a vicinity of the vehicle using human perception inspired cognitive analysis, wherein processing the perception input data includes calculating a risk level value for the external entity;
generating, by the controller, a hierarchical event structure that classifies and prioritizes the perception input data by classifying the external entity into an attention zone, wherein the attention zone is one of a high attention zone, a low attention zone, and a no attention zone, and prioritizing the external entity within the classified attention zone according to the risk level value;
developing, by the controller, a behavior plan for the vehicle based on the hierarchical event structure; and
generating, by the controller, a control signal to control an actuator of the vehicle according to the behavior plan.
