Behavior Planning Primer: How FSMs, Behavior Trees, and POMDPs Choose What an Automated Vehicle Does Next

Behavior planning turns uncertain perception into stop, follow, yield, merge, and lane-change decisions, then constrains path planning and MPC. This primer connects FSMs, behavior trees, POMDPs, current ADAS, safety, and testing.

Occupancy Grid Mapping — Turning LiDAR and Camera Evidence into Traversability

An occupancy grid divides space into cells and represents occupied, free, and unknown space probabilistically. Learn Bayesian and log-odds updates, inverse sensor models, ray casting, dynamic decay, 3D voxels, SLAM, costmaps, and planning.

V2X Primer — Connecting Vehicles, Roads, Networks, and People Safely

What do V2V, V2I, V2N, and V2P exchange, and how do DSRC/ITS-G5 and C-V2X differ? This primer connects latency, delivery reliability, cooperative perception, PKI, location privacy, fail-safe design, and reproducible testing.
