Claim One:
1. A vehicle, comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicably coupled to the at least one processor and storing: a perception module including instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to: evaluate information about an environment surrounding the vehicle, the evaluation including identifying an object in the environment surrounding the vehicle; and identify, based on the evaluation of the information about the environment surrounding the vehicle, a traffic behavior of the object; and a planning/decision making module including instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the at least one processor to: receive a traffic behavior model that describes a predominating traffic behavior of a like population of reference objects; and predict, based on the evaluation of the information about the environment surrounding the vehicle, a future maneuvering of the object, the prediction including switching from extrapolating the predominating traffic behavior of the like population of reference objects, to, in response to identifying the traffic behavior of the object, extrapolating the traffic behavior of the object.
