'''Questions about vehicle trajectory calculation in traffic scenarios:'''

1. How does the system determine the trajectories for multiple vehicles in a yield scenario?
    - The system calculates trajectories based on the locations of the vehicles and the paths provided by the wait element.

2. What are the potential applications of this technology beyond traffic management?
    - This technology could be applied in various fields such as robotics, logistics, and urban planning for efficient movement of entities.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

In various examples, a yield scenario may be identified for a first vehicle. A wait element is received that encodes a first path for the first vehicle to traverse a yield area and a second path for a second vehicle to traverse the yield area. The first path is employed to determine a first trajectory in the yield area for the first vehicle based at least on a first location of the first vehicle at a time and the second path is employed to determine a second trajectory in the yield area for the second vehicle based at least on a second location of the second vehicle at the time. To operate the first vehicle in accordance with a wait state, it may be determined whether there is a conflict between the first trajectory and the second trajectory, where the wait state defines a yielding behavior for the first vehicle.
