METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE CONTROL

A method for determining scene risk for an autonomous vehicle includes receiving scene data, predicting risk scores using a trained risk prediction model, determining an appropriate autonomous vehicle behavior based on these risk scores, and controlling the vehicle accordingly. In some implementations, the method includes training the risk prediction model by generating initial risk scores from a labeled training dataset, learning an intermediate model from these scores, and training the risk prediction model using multimodal training data and secondary risk scores.
