Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021086781A1] A vehicle can traverse an environment along a first region and detect an obstacle impeding progress of the vehicle. The vehicle can determine a second region that is adjacent to the first region and associated with a direction of travel opposite the first region. A cost can be determined based on an action (e.g., an oncoming action) to utilize the second region to overtake the obstacle. By comparing the cost to a cost threshold and/or to a cost associated with another action (e.g., a "stay in lane" action), the vehicle can determine a target trajectory that traverses through the second region. The vehicle can traverse the environment based on the target trajectory to avoid, for example, the obstacle in the environment while maintaining a safe distance from the obstacle and/or other entities in the environment.
