Autonomous vehicle control in unmarked lane intersections

Abstract

Autonomous vehicle control in unmarked lane intersections is provided. An example vehicle autonomous driving control system includes a satellite configured to obtain aerial images of an intersection including unmarked lanes, an infrastructure mounted camera configured to obtain images of the intersection, a front vehicle camera, a vehicle wireless interface configured to wirelessly receive the aerial images and one or more infrastructure camera images, and a vehicle control module configured to access the aerial images and the infrastructure camera images, obtain vehicle camera images from the front vehicle camera, provide the aerial images, the infrastructure camera images, and the vehicle camera images to at least one machine learning model to generate a virtual lane prediction indicating one or more unmarked lanes present in the intersection, and automatically control steering, acceleration, and braking of the vehicle in the intersection in accordance with the virtual lane prediction.
