Abstract
In various examples, sensor data representative of a field of view of at least one sensor of a vehicle in an environment is received from the at least one sensor. Based at least in part on the sensor data, parameters of an object located in the environment are determined. Trajectories of the object are modeled toward target positions based at least in part on the parameters of the object. From the trajectories, safe time intervals (and/or safe arrival times) over which the vehicle occupying the plurality of target positions would not result in a collision with the object are computed. Based at least in part on the safe time intervals (and/or safe arrival times) and a position of the vehicle in the environment a trajectory for the vehicle may be generated and/or analyzed.
