Samsung patents LLM-based method for generating safe driving paths

Samsung describes a system that uses a large language model to help autonomous vehicles plan their route. It takes a picture of the road, asks the model to check the driving logic and safety, and then adjusts the path based on the model's answers.

Why it mattersThis is interesting because it applies a technology usually used for chatting to the complex task of deciding how a self-driving car should move.

In the filing’s own words

A method of generating an autonomous driving trajectory includes generating a scene token and a first trajectory based on a collected image, obtaining a first query command including a first query for a logic of trajectory generation and a second query for safety of the trajectory, and generating a third trajectory based on the scene token, the first trajectory, and the first query command using a large language model (LLM). The third trajectory is obtained by processing a second trajectory based on second information obtained in response to the second query, the second trajectory is obtained based on first information obtained in response to the first query, and the first information and the second information are obtained based on the scene token, the first trajectory, and the first query command.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method of generating an autonomous driving trajectory performed by one or more processors, the method comprising: generating a scene token and a first trajectory based on a collected image; obtaining a first query command comprising a first query for a logic of trajectory generation and a second query for safety of the trajectory; and generating a third trajectory based on the scene token, the first trajectory, and the first query command using a large language model (LLM), wherein the third trajectory is obtained by processing a second trajectory based on second information obtained in response to the second query, wherein the second trajectory is obtained based on first information obtained in response to the first query, and wherein the first information and the second information are obtained based on the scene token, the first trajectory, and the first query command.
