Abstract: Multiple trajectories for a vehicle are generated based on a road segment. Sensor data is received from at least one sensor. The vehicle is traveling the road segment in accordance with a first trajectory of the multiple trajectories. A potential collision is predicted between the vehicle and an object based on the sensor data and the first trajectory. A set of constraints is determined to avoid the potential collision. The set of constraints is determined based on the sensor data. A maneuver is determined for the vehicle by superimposing each constraint of the set of constraints on each other constraint of the set of constraints. The maneuver includes a second trajectory independent of the multiple trajectories. Instructions are transmitted to a control circuit of the vehicle to override the first trajectory and traverse the road segment according to the second trajectory to perform the maneuver.
