Abstract: Techniques for determining gaps for performing lane change operations are described. A first region in an environment of a vehicle can be determined. The first region can be associated with a first time period through which the vehicle is unable to travel and can correspond to a constraint space. A second region of the environment can be determined. The second region can be associated with a second time period and can correspond to a configuration space. A gap in the environment can be determined based on a portion of the configuration space that is exclusive of the constraint space. A trajectory can be determined based on the gap. The trajectory can be associated with performing a lane change operation and can be associated with a cost. The vehicle can be controlled to perform the lane change operation based at least in part on the trajectory and the cost.

Abstract: A vehicle computing system may implement techniques to determine an action for a vehicle to perform based on a cost associated therewith. The cost may be based on a detected object (e.g., another vehicle, bicyclist, pedestrian, etc.) operating in the environment and/or a possible object associated with an occluded region (e.g., a blocked area in which an object may be located). The vehicle computing system may determine two or more actions the vehicle could take with respect to the detected object and/or the occluded region and may generate a simulation associated with each action. The vehicle computing system may run the simulation associated with each action to determine a safety cost, a progress cost, a comfort cost, an operational rules cost, and/or an occlusion cost associated with each action. The vehicle computing system may select the action for the vehicle to perform based on an optimal cost being associated therewith.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a driving surface cost landscape for determining costs for vehicle positions in an environment are described herein. A planning component within a vehicle may determine a non-preferred surface associated with a type of non-preferred area of an environment along a route of a vehicle, determine a preferred surface associated with a preferred area of the environment, determine an adjusted non-preferred surface by removing an overlapping area of the non-preferred surface that overlaps the preferred surface and determine a cost associated with a vehicle position based at least on the preferred surface and the adjusted non-preferred surface. The planning component may then determine a control trajectory for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the cost associated with the vehicle position.
