Abstract
A collision avoidance system may validate, reject, or replace a trajectory generated to control a vehicle. The collision avoidance system may comprise a secondary perception component that may receive sensor data, receive and/or determine a corridor associated with operation of a vehicle, classify a portion of the sensor data associated with the corridor as either ground or an object, determine a position and/or velocity of at least the nearest object, determine a threshold distance associated with the vehicle, and control the vehicle based at least in part on the position and/or velocity of the nearest object and the threshold distance.
