Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 7:
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising vehicle control instructions stored in a memory and executed by a processor to carry out the steps comprising:
receiving road friction information indicating road friction estimates for a plurality of regions surrounding a vehicle;
detecting and determining a predicted trajectory for an object within the plurality of regions surrounding the vehicle;
wherein the predicted trajectory for the object is determined based in part on an object intention at time t, an object trajectory at time t, a predicted object intention a later time t′, a predicted object trajectory at later time t′, a risk, a confidence metric, and the road friction estimates for the plurality of regions surrounding the vehicle; and
modifying operation of the vehicle at time t+Δt<t′ based on the predicted trajectory for the object.
