Abstract

See full text

In one embodiment, a number of steering rate candidates are determined for a steering control command of operating an autonomous vehicle. For each of the steering rate candidates, a number of individual costs are calculated for the steering rate candidate by applying a plurality of cost functions, each cost function corresponding to one of a plurality of cost categories. A total cost for the steering rate candidate is determined based on the individual costs produced by the cost functions. One of the steering rate candidates having a lowest total cost is selected as a target steering rate. A steering control command is generated based on the selected steering rate candidate to control a steering wheel of the autonomous vehicle.
