Abstract
Example collision avoidance systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives data from multiple sensors mounted to a first vehicle. A collision avoidance system determines a likelihood that a second vehicle will collide with the back of the first vehicle based on the received data. If a collision is likely, the method identifies open space near the first vehicle and determines a best action to avoid or mitigate the likely collision based on the identified open space.
