A controller for an autonomous vehicle receives audio streams from one or more microphones and one or more image streams from one or more cameras. The audio streams are processed to identify audio features that potentially correspond to a motorcycle. The video streams are likewise processed to identify image objects that have movement and/or visual attributes corresponding to a motorcycle. The audio features and image objects are correlated. If a correlation is identified among the audio features and image objects, then a potentially lane-splitting motorcycle (lane filtering, white lining, lane sharing, stripe riding) may be determined to be nearby. A confidence score mat be assigned to the determination. Actions may be taken to avoid collision with the lane-splitting motorcycle, such as avoiding lane changes, signaling longer, or performing lane changes more slowly. A radar, lidar and/or sonar may be incorporated.
