Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to autonomously controlling a vehicle according to a trajectory plan. In one embodiment, a method includes updating, upon traveling over at least a portion of a current segment of a roadway, the trajectory plan for a subsequent segment of the roadway by setting a fixed portion of the trajectory plan to include: (i) a steering parameter to be fixed for a first duration of time and (ii) a speed parameter to be fixed for a second duration of time. The first duration of time and the second duration of time are of different lengths. The method includes computing input controls for autonomously controlling the vehicle according to the fixed portion of the trajectory plan. The method includes controlling the vehicle according to the input controls over the subsequent segment of the roadway.
