Abstract
A lateral virtual boundary for a host vehicle is identified based on a lateral distance between the host vehicle and a target vehicle, a longitudinal distance between the host vehicle and the target vehicle, and a speed of the target vehicle relative to the host vehicle. A forward virtual boundary for the host vehicle is identified based on the longitudinal distance between the host vehicle and the target vehicle. A lateral constraint value of the lateral virtual boundary and a forward constraint value of the forward virtual boundary are determined. A longitudinal acceleration and a steering angle are determined based on the lateral and forward virtual boundaries and the lateral and forward constraint values. One or both of a steering component or a brake are actuated based on the longitudinal acceleration and the steering angle.
