Abstract
According to one aspect, methods to select and implement a failover behavior based on situational awareness, when an autonomous vehicle enters a failover condition, are provided. Operation design domains, other users who share a road with the autonomous vehicle, and tailgaters may be considered when determining a deceleration profile, a trajectory length, and a trajectory type for the autonomous vehicle to follow when executing failover behavior. An autonomous driving system of an autonomous vehicle detects a failover event while the autonomous vehicle is traveling along a path and analyzes an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle to determine whether a tailgater is present behind the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous driving system generates a failover plan for performing a failover behavior based on the failover event and the environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle and engages the autonomous vehicle to implement the failover plan for performing the failover behavior.
