This application describes a proactive sensing system for an autonomous vehicle. This system fuses vehicle sensing data and sensing data from a roadside unit, a Traffic Control Unit, and/or a cloud to provide full 360-degree coverage and birds-eye view of the driving environment. This proactive sensing system cooperatively uses vehicle-based sensor data and sensor data from external sources to provide better and more efficient sensing of longtail or corner cases, such as blind spots and blockage by surrounding objects. Specifically, this proactive sensing system effectively identifies major sensing points where vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and bicycles, are major challenges for autonomous vehicles at intersections, roundabouts, or work zones. Accordingly, the technology significantly improves the safety of autonomous vehicles.
