Abstract
A computer includes a processor and a memory, and the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to determine an adjusted control input for a component of a host vehicle that maximizes a number of timesteps for which a constraint on a host kinematic state of the host vehicle and a target kinematic state of at least one target vehicle is satisfiable; and actuate the component according to the adjusted control input. The determination of the adjusted control input is based on a nominal control input, the host kinematic state, and the target kinematic state.
