    Abstract: The invention is notably directed to computer-implemented method of planning motion of a vehicle. The method comprises receiving (S20) real-time signals as to positions of N traffic participants. At each time step of multiple time steps, the method plans (S50) motion for the vehicle by computing (S30) states of each of the N traffic participants according to the signals received (S20). Said states include current states, which are estimated for each of the N traffic participants, as well as future states of each of the participants, wherein the future states are predicted over a prediction horizon T. This is achieved using an interaction-aware model of the N traffic participants. This model is designed to cause the method to recursively compute (S32-S38), at said each time step, the states of each of the N traffic participants according to a hierarchical list. The N traffic participants are ordered in the list from a most determinative one to a least determinative one of the N traffic participants.
