Abstract
According to several aspects, a method for path planning for a vehicle includes determining a predicted trajectory of a remote vehicle. The predicted trajectory of the remote vehicle includes a plurality of predicted trajectory nodes. The method further includes determining a plurality of possible trajectories for the vehicle. The plurality of possible trajectories includes a plurality of possible trajectory nodes. The method further includes determining one or more evaluation metrics of each of the plurality of possible trajectory nodes based at least in part on a weather condition in an environment surrounding the vehicle. The method further includes selecting an optimal trajectory for the vehicle from the plurality of possible trajectories based at least in part on the one or more evaluation metrics of each of the plurality of possible trajectory nodes. The method further includes performing a first action based at least in part on the optimal trajectory.
