    Abstract: A system includes an autonomous vehicle (AV) configured to travel along a road and a control device communicatively coupled to the AV. The control device determines that the AV should move from a current lane of the road to an adjacent lane of the road. The control device determines two or more candidate windows into which the AV may move in the adjacent lane. Each candidate window corresponds to a space in the adjacent lane between two vehicles traveling in the adjacent lane. The control device determines that the AV should move into a first candidate window, and, in response to this determination, causes the AV to begin moving along a trajectory leading to the first candidate window (e.g., by accelerating or decelerating).
