1. A method, comprising:
capturing, from a camera mounted to a vehicle, a video of a portion of a road on which the vehicle is traveling;
detecting, in the video, a driving lane associated with the road on which the vehicle is traveling;
detecting, in the video, a plurality of other vehicles within the driving lane;
determining, for each of the plurality of other vehicles within the driving lane, a bounding box that substantially surrounds an image of the other vehicle, resulting in a plurality of bounding boxes; and
determining a region in the video corresponding to an area to be driven by the vehicle based on the plurality of bounding boxes by using a linear fit model to a first line to first corners of the plurality of bounding boxes and a second line to second corners of the plurality of bounding boxes.
