Abstract:
Sound signals are received by one or more microphones disposed at an ADV. The sound signals are analyzed to extract a feature of a road on which the ADV is driving. A road condition of the road is determined based on the extracted feature. A path planning and speed planning is performed to generate a trajectory based on the road condition. The ADV is controlled to drive autonomously according to the generated trajectory.
