Abstract
An autonomous vehicle is described herein. The autonomous vehicle comprises sensor systems that generate sensor signals and a computing system. The computing system generates an awareness graph based upon the sensor signals. The awareness graph comprises nodes connected by directed edges. The nodes include a first node assigned to a first maneuver that is to be executed by a vehicle in a vicinity of the autonomous vehicle and a second node assigned to a second maneuver that is to be executed by the autonomous vehicle. The directed edges include a directed edge that extends from the second node to the first node indicating that execution of the second maneuver is dependent upon execution of the first maneuver. The autonomous vehicle determines an ordering of the first maneuver and the second maneuver based on the awareness graph and executes the second maneuver in accordance with the ordering.
