Abstract
Techniques for changing driving lanes due to construction zones are described herein. A vehicle may receive sensor data and determine, based on the sensor data, that the vehicle is approaching a construction zone. The vehicle may determine that the construction zone is blocking the driving lane occupied by the vehicle. In this case, the vehicle can generate a driving corridor that represents a driving lane within which the vehicle can navigate. The vehicle can use the driving corridor to generate a first lane group that is specific to navigating around the construction zone. Further, the vehicle can generate a second lane group based on map data. The vehicle can generate an updated lane group by combining the first lane group with the second lane group. The vehicle can be controlled based on the updated lane group.
