Abstract
A system for determining a content of a message used to coordinate interactions among vehicles can include a processing device and a memory. The memory can store a discretization module and a communications module. The discretization module can include instructions that when executed by the processing device cause the processing device to: (1) analyze a critical maneuver trajectory of an ego vehicle and a current trajectory of another vehicle to determine an existence of a critical maneuver situation and (2) produce a discretized representation of a portion of the critical maneuver trajectory of the ego vehicle. A form of the discretized representation can be based on the existence of the critical maneuver situation. The communications module can include instructions that when executed by the processing device cause the processing device to communicate the discretized representation as the content of the message used to coordinate interactions among vehicles.
