Abstract
Techniques for determining whether to yield a vehicle to an oncoming object based on a stationary object are discussed herein. A vehicle can determine a drivable area in an environment through which the vehicle is travelling. A trajectory associated with the vehicle can be determined. A probability that the oncoming object will intersect a drive path associated with a vehicle trajectory can be determined. In some case, the probability can be based on various distance metric(s) (e.g., dynamic distance metrics) of the environment. If the oncoming object is determined to intersect the drive path, a stopping location for the vehicle can be determined to allow the oncoming object to traverse around the stationary object. The vehicle can be controlled based on sensor data captured by the vehicle and the probability.
