Abstract:
Techniques are discussed for controlling a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, to navigate a junction in an environment. In some cases, the techniques can be used to navigate a turn at the junction or traverse through the junction. Operations include the vehicle detecting a stop signal and preparing the vehicle to stop at a location associated with the junction. The vehicle can determine a time to execute a maneuver and a visibility distance that a sensor can observe in the environment. A speed of the vehicle to execute the maneuver can be determined based on the time to execute the maneuver and the visibility distance.
