Abstract

Various examples are directed to systems and methods for controlling an autonomous vehicle comprising a tractor and a trailer. For example, a system may determine that a line from a position of a first sensor on the autonomous vehicle to a position of a first actor in an environment of the autonomous vehicle intersects the trailer. The system may determine that the first actor is in a blind spot of the autonomous vehicle, generate a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle, and control the autonomous vehicle in accordance with the motion plan.
