Claim 0:
1. A method in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions executed by the at least one processor to implement a vehicle monitoring system, the method comprising:
(a) receiving, from at least one of a first plurality of sensors coupled to an ego vehicle, information associated with a parametric variable;
(b) selecting a partition of an operating region of the parametric variable based on the parametric variable information,
the operating region comprising a predetermined range of values of the parametric variable, and the operating region is associated with a plurality of partitions, each of the plurality of partitions comprising a subset of the predetermined range of values,
the partition being one of the plurality of partitions, and being associated with a predetermined ego vehicle input, and
the predetermined ego vehicle input comprising at least one value for a parameter corresponding to dynamics of the ego vehicle;

(c) causing a vehicle control system of the ego vehicle to perform a first maneuver based on the predetermined ego vehicle input;
(d) receiving, from at least one of a second plurality of sensors coupled to the ego vehicle, a first vehicle information about a second vehicle;
(e) inferring an intention of the second vehicle based on the first vehicle information; and
(f) causing the vehicle control system to perform a second maneuver based on the intention,
wherein the predetermined ego vehicle input is calculated to allow an intention of the second vehicle to be inferred from the first vehicle information received after the ego vehicle performs the first maneuver.
