How self-driving cars predict behaviour of other road users

Footage shows what a self-driving car'sees' as it navigates past cyclists, pedestrians and how it anticipates the unpredictable behaviour of children. Using a test vehicle, the technology can predict the path of a cyclist and slow down while overtaking to overtake a parked van to allow them to pass. The car perceives the cyclist's path and recognise any point of collision, which it sees as a red dotted line, which resembles a bridge. Formerly Google's self-driving car project - Waymo has released two videos of what information its tech is getting back from moving through a complex environment. Object detection is a two-part process, image classification and then image localisation.
