A system for dynamic policy curation includes a computing system and interfaces with an autonomous agent. A method for dynamic policy curation includes collecting a set of inputs; processing the set of inputs; and determining a set of available policies based on processing the set of inputs. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: selecting a policy; implementing a policy; and/or any other suitable processes.

A method for risk-aware policy assessment for an autonomous vehicle can include: collecting information associated with an environment of an ego vehicle; determining a set of policy proposals; determining and assessing a set of risks encounterable (e.g., potentially encountered in the future) by the ego vehicle; selecting a policy based on the set of risks, operating the ego vehicle based on the assessed risks, and/or any other suitable elements. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: performing a set of simulations, analyzing the simulation results, determining a set of discount profiles, discounting a set of risks, and/or any other processes. The method can be performed with a system as described below and/or any other suitable system.

A system implementing the method can include a sensor suite, a computing system, a vehicle control system, and/or any other suitable set of components. In variants, the computing system can implement a multi-policy decision model, a risk model, an element selector, a policy generator, a fallback controller, policies (e.g., made up at least of policy elements, etc.), and/or any other suitable system components.

The method can include: receiving a set of inputs; determining a set of policies based on the set of inputs; determining a set of scores associated with the set of environmental policies; and evaluating the set of policies. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include operating the ego agent according to a selected policy and/or any other processes. The method functions to facilitate scoring of policies based on ‘feasibility’ for agents in an environment. Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to facilitate autonomous operation of a vehicle (e.g., based on policy-feasibility of agents in the environment). Additionally or alternatively, the method can function to facilitate intention estimation for agents in an environment.

A method can include: determining a set of measurements; determining a visibility representation; determining a set of observations; generating a set of hypotheses; determining a set of tracks; and/or any other suitable elements. Additionally or alternatively, the method can optionally include planning a trajectory for the vehicle and/or any other suitable elements. The method functions to track objects and the uncertainty of existence thereof in the vehicle's environment over time.

A system 100 for autonomous vehicle operation can include: a low-level safety platform 130 ; and can optionally include and/or interface with any or all of: an autonomous agent 102 , a sensor system, a computing system 120 , a vehicle communication network 140 , a vehicle control system 150 , and/or any suitable components. The system functions to facilitate fallback planning and/or execution at the autonomous agent. Additionally or alternatively, the system can function to transition the autonomous agent between a primary (autonomous) operation mode and a fallback operation mode.
