Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an obstacle is predicted to move from a starting point to an end point based on perception data perceiving a driving environment surrounding an ADV that is driving within a lane. A longitudinal movement trajectory from the starting point to the end point is generated in view of a shape of the lane. A lateral movement trajectory from the starting point to the end point is generated, including optimizing a shape of the lateral movement trajectory using a first polynomial function. The longitudinal movement trajectory and the lateral movement trajectory are then combined to form a final predicted trajectory that predicts how the obstacle is to move. A path is generated to control the ADV to move in view of the predicted trajectory of the obstacle, for example, to avoid the collision with the obstacle.

Claim (Index 11):
The machine-readable medium of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:\n determining a set of initial lateral states of the obstacle associated with the starting point based on current states of the obstacle; and determining a set of end lateral states associated with the end point based on the current states of the obstacle, wherein the initial lateral states and the end lateral states are utilized as a first set of constraints of the first polynomial function to optimize the lateral movement trajectory.
