Chain-of-Thought (CoT) Reasoning Module for Autonomous Driving Safety.
Inspired by Alpamayo-R1's Chain-of-Causation and AgentThink's structured reasoning.
Implements a multi-stage reasoning pipeline:
Stage 1: Scene Narration β "What do I see?"
Encodes BEV + perception outputs into a structured scene description vector.
Identifies all actors, road topology, traffic signals, weather.
Stage 2: Risk Assessment β "What could go wrong?"
For each actor/hazard, predicts threat level, time-to-collision (TTC),
probability of incursion into ego's planned path.
Stage 3: Causal Reasoning β "Why should I act?"
Chains scene evidence β risk β required behavior.
Produces an interpretable reasoning trace (vector + decodable tokens).
Stage 4: Decision Gate β "What should I do?"
Outputs a safety-verified action decision that overrides the base planner
when the reasoning chain identifies danger the planner missed.
The CoT module sits BETWEEN perception and planning, enriching the BEV
features with explicit safety reasoning before trajectory generation.

Produces:
