Abstract
A vehicle trajectory may be evaluated based on a relative probability distribution associated with a vehicle and an object in the vehicle environment and/or based on velocities associated with the vehicle and/or the object. The relative probability distribution may be determined based on a vehicle trajectory and/or a predicted object trajectory. A collision probability and/or a collision severity may be determined based on the relative probability distribution and/or the velocities. The collision probability and/or severity may be used to determine whether the vehicle trajectory is safe and/or to inform the driving behavior of the vehicle.
