METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING A LONGITUDINAL PLAN FOR AN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE BASED ON BEHAVIOR OF UNCERTAIN ROAD USERS

A system includes a computing device of an autonomous vehicle and a computer-readable storage medium that includes one or more programming instructions. The system identifies one or more lead objects located in front of the autonomous vehicle, and, for each of the one or more lead objects that are identified, determines an action type associated with the lead object which is used to generate a longitudinal plan for the autonomous vehicle.
