Abstract

Systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data representing a first trajectory including one or more states corresponding to a motion path. The method includes determining a second trajectory based at least in part on the first trajectory, the second trajectory including a first state corresponding to the motion path, and one or more secondary states corresponding to the motion path, the one or more secondary states indicating a state of the autonomous vehicle relative to the first state. The method includes determining one or more control signals based at least in part on the second trajectory. The method includes controlling a motion of the autonomous vehicle according to the motion path, based at least in part on the one or more control signals.
