    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for determining states of traffic lights and managing behavior of an automated vehicle approaching an intersection. An autonomy system applies an object recognition engine trained to recognize a traffic light, and identify and confirm the state of the traffic light. A first neural network trained for object detection recognizes a traffic light and defines a bounding box around the recognized traffic light. A second neural network receives the region of the image bounded by the box as constituting the traffic light and “reads” the light. The automated vehicle uses other information, such as states of pedestrian traffic lights, detection of objects in and near the intersection, and glare on one or more cameras, to supplement its determination of the right of way through the intersection. The autonomy system generates a driving instruction based on the traffic light combined.
