Abstract
Techniques for controlling a vehicle to safely perform a maneuver are discussed herein. For example, techniques can include determining, based on diagnostic data associated with the vehicle, a first constraint to be applied by a vehicle system of the vehicle. At a first instance, the first constraint may be transmitted to the vehicle system. The systems and/or methods may determine an absence of an action by the vehicle that is associated with first constraint and determine a second constraint to be applied by the vehicle system. At a second instance, the second constraint may be transmitted to the vehicle system. The second constraint may be associated with an emergency stop to ensure the safety of passengers within the vehicle and persons and objects in a surrounding environment.
