Abstract
A device for controlling an autonomous vehicle includes a processor and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect that the autonomous vehicle has one or more malfunctioning components and to determine, in response to the detection, a likelihood that the autonomous vehicle is able to reach a desired stop location based on one or more factors associated with the one or more malfunctioning components. The device determines at least one maneuver for the autonomous vehicle based on the likelihood, and causes the autonomous vehicle to perform the at least one maneuver.
