Abstract
Techniques for determining a rear end collision probability for a vehicle are discussed herein. The rear end collision probability can be determined based on data associated with the vehicle and an object proximate the vehicle, probability distribution data, and a vehicle maneuver value. The probability distribution data, which can be received, may represent a reaction time of the object and a maneuver value of the object. The rear end collision probability can be utilized to control the vehicle.
