Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a vehicle. The methods comprise: generating, by a computing device, a vehicle trajectory for the vehicle that is in motion; detecting an object within a given distance from the vehicle; generating, by the computing device, at least one possible object trajectory for the object which was detected; performing, by the computing device, a collision check to determine that there remains time to react safely to worst-case behavior by the object (the collision check being based on the vehicle trajectory and at least one possible object trajectory); and performing operations, by the computing device, to selectively cause the vehicle to perform an emergency maneuver based on results of the collision check.
