Abstract
Techniques and methods for determining regions. For instance, a vehicle may determine a trajectory of the vehicle and a trajectory of an agent, such as a pedestrian. The vehicle may then determine one or more contextual factors. In some examples, the one or more contextual factors are associated with a location of the agent with respect to a crosswalk, a location of the vehicle with respect to the crosswalk, a state of the crosswalk, and/or the like. The vehicle may then determine the region using the trajectory of the vehicle, the trajectory of the agent, and the one or more contextual factors. Additionally, using a time buffer value and a distance buffer value associated with the region, the vehicle may determine whether to yield to the agent within the region.
