Abstract:
The techniques discussed herein may comprise an autonomous vehicle guidance system that generates a path for controlling an autonomous vehicle based at least in part on a static object map and/or one or more dynamic object maps. The guidance system may identify a path based at least in part on determining set of nodes and a cost map associated with the static and/or dynamic object, among other costs, pruning the set of nodes, and creating further nodes from the remaining nodes until a computational or other limit is reached. The path output by the techniques may be associated with a cheapest node of the sets of nodes that were generated.
