Abstract

Trajectory determination for controlling a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, is described. In an example, a vehicle system includes multiple planning systems for calculating trajectories. A first system may calculate first trajectories at a first frequency and the second system may calculate second trajectories at a second frequency and based on the first trajectories. The first and/or second trajectories may be initialized at states of the vehicle corresponding to a projection onto a previous-in-time respective first or second trajectory. The second trajectories may be control trajectories along which the vehicle is controlled.
