==COURTESY LANE SELECTION PARADIGM==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250058781 titled 'COURTESY LANE SELECTION PARADIGM

==Original Abstract Submitted==

embodiments herein include systems and methods of generating lane selection cost values to control autonomous vehicles to accommodate merging vehicles in a tapering lane (or merge lane). an autonomy system can identify a tapering lane in map data and detect a merging vehicle situated in the tapering lane using perception sensor data. the autonomy system includes a lane-selection cost function that generates lane-selection cost values for the lanes available to the automated vehicle, which the autonomy system references to determine whether to continue traveling a current lane or change lanes into an adjacent lane. the lane-selection cost function may apply a courtesy weight when detecting the merging vehicle, such that the autonomy system causes the automated vehicle to change lanes as a courtesy to the merging vehicle, but without overriding other safety-related factors of the lane-selection cost function or trajectory planning functions.
