A multi-dimensional trajectory planning system is disclosed that includes planning and actuator modules. The planning module executes the planning application to: determine a first dimensionality including first dimensions for a first stage, where each of the first dimensions are active, and where the first dimensions include two or more dimensions; determine a second dimensionality including second dimensions for a second stage, where the second dimensions include the first dimensions or a subset of the first dimensions, and where the second stage has a lower level of dimensionality than the first stage; based on map data and sensor data, estimates first possible future states of the first dimensions for the first stage, and estimates second possible future states of the second dimensions for the second stage based on the first possible future states; and selects a trajectory plan based on the second possible future states.

A vehicle communication system that provides data between various objects (i.e., devices) within a vehicle communication network is disclosed. In one or more implementations, the vehicle communication system includes an accessor interface module that receives data encoded in an automotive connectivity communication protocol from another accessor module. The other accessor module is associated with an originating object within a vehicle communication network. The data encoded in the automotive connectivity communication protocol includes an object data portion defining a domain associated with a destination object and a payload data portion. The domain has a corresponding authentication protocol for authenticating the data. The accessor interface module authenticates the data according to the authentication protocol. The vehicle communication system also includes an object-specific protocol encoder module that determines an object-specific communication protocol associated with the destination object. The object-specific communication protocol encodes the payload data portion according to the object-specific communication protocol.
