Abstract
In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes determining a path for an autonomous driving vehicle. The path is located within a first lane of an environment in which the autonomous driving vehicle is currently located. The method also includes obtaining sensor data. The sensor data indicates a set of speeds for a set of moving obstacles located in a second lane of the environment and wherein the second lane is adjacent to the first lane. The method further includes determining whether the set of speeds is lower than a threshold speed. The method further includes determining a new speed for the autonomous driving vehicle in response to determining that the set of speeds is lower than the threshold speed. The method further includes controlling the autonomous driving vehicle based on the path and the new speed.
