Patent attributes
In one embodiment, driving statistics of an autonomous vehicle are collected. The driving statistics include driving commands, speeds, and changes of speeds in response to the driving commands at different points in time represented by one or more command cycles. Command delay candidates for the autonomous vehicle are determined, each of the command delay candidates represented by one or more command cycles. For each of the command delay candidates, a percentage is calculated for driving commands that resulted in a response of the autonomous vehicle conforming to the driving commands associated with the command delay candidate. One of the command delay candidates having the highest percentage of conformity is selected as the command delay for the autonomous vehicle. The command delay is utilized to plan and control subsequent operations of the autonomous vehicle.
