Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to generating vehicle motion corridors for use in generating autonomous vehicle paths. In particular, a computing system can access map data for a geographic area and sensor data for the geographic area around an autonomous vehicle. The computing system can identify, based on the map data and the sensor data, object data describing a position and a size of one or more objects in the geographic area of the autonomous vehicle. The computing system can access path data describing a nominal path through the geographic area. The computing system can determine a plurality of corridor segments associated with the nominal path. The computing system can generate a vehicle motion corridor by aggregating the plurality of corridor segments, wherein the vehicle motion corridor defines an area in which the autonomous vehicle can travel without colliding with the one or more objects.
