Model Predictive Control (MPC) is widely used for autonomous-vehicle (AV) motion planning, but its real-time applicability is often limited by the need for accurate models and online solution of nonlinear, nonconvex optimization problems in dynamic road environments. Actor-critic reinforcement learning offers a promising alternative for online policy generation, yet its policy-learning process often lacks explicit control-theoretic structure. This article proposes a learning predictive control (LPC) framework with deep Koopman operators for efficient real-time motion planning under nonconvex constraints. To address nonlinear and uncertain vehicle dynamics, a deep-Koopman-based predictor is used to lift the system into an interpretable linear observable space in a data-driven manner. Unlike traditional MPC, which computes open-loop control sequences, the proposed LPC framework yields a closed-loop state-feedback policy within each prediction interval through receding-horizon actor-critic learning. To ensure safety under nonconvex environmental constraints, LPC constructs convex local surrogate representations of obstacles and defines corresponding potential-field functions. These functions and their gradients are directly embedded into the actor-critic structure, enabling efficient, safety-aware policy learning. Extensive simulations and real-world experiments on the HongQi-EHS3 platform demonstrate favorable performance in diverse obstacle-avoidance scenarios in terms of safety, computational efficiency, and driving comfort, compared with benchmark methods such as CBF-MPC and LMPCC.
