Abstract
Techniques for determining a vehicle trajectory that causes a vehicle to navigate in an environment relative to one or more objects are described herein. For example, the techniques may include a computing device determining a decision tree having nodes to represent different object intents and/or nodes to represent vehicle actions at a future time. A tree search algorithm can search the decision tree to evaluate potential interactions between the vehicle and the one or more objects over a time period, and output a vehicle trajectory for the vehicle. The vehicle trajectory can be sent to a vehicle computing device for consideration during vehicle planning, which may include simulation.
