Abstract

Techniques for generating trajectories and drivable areas for navigating a vehicle in an environment are discussed herein. The techniques can include receiving a reference trajectory representing an initial trajectory for a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, to traverse the environment in a first drivable area. An object within a distance threshold can be detected in the environment and a second drivable area can be determined. Further, the techniques can include determining a target trajectory based at least in part on the reference trajectory and/or the second drivable area which can provide a region for the object to traverse the environment, and controlling the autonomous vehicle to traverse the environment based at least in part on the target trajectory.
