Abstract
According to an aspect of the invention, a method of trajectory-based sensor planning for a vehicle includes receiving an indication of a planned change in a trajectory of the vehicle. A processing subsystem determines a current field of view of a directional sensor and a planned adjustment in the current field of view of the directional sensor relative to the vehicle to align with the planned change in the trajectory of the vehicle. The planned adjustment in the current field of view of the directional sensor is initiated prior to changing the trajectory of the vehicle.
