Abstract: Embodiments described herein disclose systems and methods for a dual buffer zone system to ensure a stable nudge for autonomous driving vehicles. In one embodiment, a system perceives a driving environment surrounding an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), including perceiving one or more obstacles within a view of the ADV. For each of the one or more obstacles, if a previous planning decision for the obstacle is not a nudge, the system associates a first buffer zone with the obstacle. Otherwise, the system associates a second buffer zone with the obstacle. Based on the associated buffer zone for the obstacle, the system determines a planning decision to nudge the obstacle to ensure a buffer distance between the ADV and the obstacle. The system generates a trajectory for the ADV based on the planning decisions for the one or more obstacles.
