Abstract
An autonomous system includes a vehicle operable to travel from a first point to a second point, a first actuator operable to adjust a speed of the vehicle, and a second actuator operable to adjust a direction of travel of the vehicle. A controller is operable to send control signals to the first actuator and the second actuator to facilitate the transition of the system from a first state to a second state during travel between the first point and the second point. A reachability controller is coupled to the controller to receive the first state and the control signals and to analyze the first state and the control signals to determine if the second state is a safe state.
