Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer program products for controlling acceleration of a vehicle. The methods comprising: detecting a lateral distance from a point on a trajectory of the vehicle to a first object the vehicle is expected to pass when following the trajectory; selecting whether acceleration limiting is to be performed by the vehicle based on the lateral distance; obtaining a margin of the vehicle defined by a sequence of points; obtaining an amount by which the acceleration of the vehicle is to be limited based on the trajectory and the margin of the vehicle, when a selection is made that acceleration limiting is to be performed by the vehicle; and causing the vehicle to perform operations for autonomous driving with limiting of acceleration by the obtained amount.
