US Patent 11657604 Systems and methods for estimating future paths

A system and method estimate a future path ahead of a current location of a vehicle. The system includes at least one processor programmed to: obtain an image of an environment ahead of a current arbitrary location of a vehicle navigating a road; obtain a trained system that was trained to estimate a future path on a first plurality of images of environments ahead of vehicles navigating roads; apply the trained system to the image of the environment ahead of the current arbitrary location of the vehicle; and provide, based on the application of the trained system to the image, an estimated future path of the vehicle ahead of the current arbitrary location.
