Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media are configured to perform operations comprising determining first speeds of first objects in a first lane and second speeds of second objects in a second lane; determining a first speed of traffic for the first lane based on the first speeds and a second speed of traffic for the second lane based on the second speeds; and generating a speed limit for a third lane based on the first speed of traffic and the second speed of traffic.

Surrounding traffic speed management system

Embodiments provide a vehicle computer coupled to a vehicle. The vehicle computer may be configured to compute (e.g., generate) an automated lane change maneuver moving the vehicle from a first lane into a second, adjacent lane. The lane change maneuver may have commenced while the maneuver was safe to conduct, but a threat vehicle (or another threat object) may be subsequently detected moving into the same target lane. The option to immediately abort the maneuver and return to the original lane may not be appropriate after some time into the lane change maneuver. The vehicle computer may control the vehicle in a lateral position hold along the lane demarcation line for a predetermined amount of time before moving into the second lane when the threat vehicle clears the second lane or returning to the first lane when the threat vehicle does not clear the second lane.

Managing lane change threats

Methods, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to perform operations comprise determining, by a computing system, speeds and stations of a plurality of leading vehicles traveling ahead of an ego vehicle; calculating, by the computing system, a coasting viability factor based on the speeds and stations of the plurality of leading vehicles and a speed and station of the ego vehicle; comparing, by the computing system, the coasting viability factor to a coasting viability threshold; and determining, by the computing system, whether the ego vehicle should coast based on the comparing.

Active coasting in traffic

Embodiments provide a vehicle computer coupled to a vehicle. The vehicle computer may be configured to compute (e.g., generate) a first (e.g., regular, main) trajectory and a second (e.g., fail-safe, minimal risk maneuver) trajectory for the vehicle. Embodiments may provide a fault detection interval during which the second trajectory may be activated due to missing updated trajectory input. Embodiments may also provide a recovery detection interval during which an updated regular trajectory may be generated and followed instead of the fail-safe trajectory if a valid trajectory update is received. Accordingly, embodiments allow for an early activation of a fail-safe trajectory compared to conventional systems, while also allowing the system to recover (e.g., revert back to a modified version of the first trajectory) if a valid trajectory update is received during a recovery detection interval.
