Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods of trajectory planning for an autonomous vehicle are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: determine a first trajectory plan for the vehicle traveling along a first spatial location at a first point in time, the first trajectory plan being a reference trajectory plan; compute an optimal sequence for the vehicle traveling along a second spatial location at a second point in time subsequent the first point in time; and calculate a second trajectory plan for the vehicle by updating the first trajectory plan with information from the computed optimal sequence.
