Abstract

In one embodiment, autonomous driving control for an autonomous vehicle is provided by determining a first state of the autonomous vehicle from among a number of states and determining whether one or more conditions have been satisfied, based on current information and historical information of the autonomous vehicle. A next state of the autonomous vehicle and a transition of the autonomous vehicle from the first state to the next state are determined, based on the one or more conditions that are determined to have been satisfied. Based on the transition of the autonomous vehicle, one of a plurality of motion plans is selected.
