Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising, by a computing system:
accessing sensor data associated with a surrounding environment of a vehicle;
generating, based on the sensor data and using a heuristic that is a rule-based algorithm that is not a machine-learning algorithm, a first trajectory having one or more first driving characteristics that are not human-like for navigating the vehicle in the surrounding environment;
generating, using the first trajectory as an input to a machine-learning generator, a second trajectory having one or more second driving characteristics by modifying the one or more first driving characteristics of the first trajectory using adjustment parameters from the machine- learning generator based on one or more human-driving characteristics of observed human- driven trajectories such that the one or more second driving characteristics satisfy a similarity threshold relative to the one or more human-driving characteristics, wherein the first trajectory and the second trajectory define separate vehicle moving paths for the vehicle to move from a first point to a second point and include a series of spatial-temporal points; and
controlling the vehicle using vehicle operations based on the second trajectory to navigate the vehicle in the surrounding environment.
