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; using, by the computing device, the vehicle trajectory and the at least one possible object trajectory to determine whether there is an undesirable level of risk that a collision will occur between the vehicle and the object; modifying, by the computing device, the vehicle trajectory when a determination is made that there is an undesirable level of risk that the collision will occur; and automatically causing the vehicle to move according to the modified vehicle trajectory.
