Abstract

Techniques for determining a modified lateral motion boundary of a vehicle in an environment are discussed herein. Techniques may include determining a lateral motion boundary for a vehicle in an environment, based partly on data associated with the environment and/or the vehicle, where representations of objects in the environment may be projected onto the lateral motion boundary. The lateral motion boundary may be modified based on such projections to determine a modified lateral motion boundary. The modified lateral motion boundary may include an open lateral boundary, configured by closing off portions of the lateral motion boundary corresponding to the projections, allowing a vehicle to move laterally to traverse the environment and avoid the objects.
