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.

Abstract: A vehicle can include a first camera on a first side of the vehicle and a second camera on a second side of the vehicle opposite the first side of the vehicle. The vehicle can include a processor communicatively coupled with the first camera and the second camera. The processor can be configured to receive a first image of a first lane line on a road in which the vehicle is driving from the first camera and a second image of a second lane line on the road from the second camera; detect the first lane line from the first image and the second lane line from the second image; determine a first location of the first lane line relative to a defined location of the vehicle and a second location of the second lane line relative to the defined location of the vehicle; and execute a correction sequence.
