Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure is directed towards a system for implementing emergency braking. In particular, a computing system can obtain current trajectory data from a motion planning system of an autonomous vehicle. The computing system can determine whether an emergency braking flag within the current trajectory data is set to true based at least in part on the current trajectory data. The computing system can, in response to determining that the emergency braking flag within the current trajectory data is set to true, change a current braking mode of the autonomous vehicle from a first braking mode to a second braking mode. While in the second braking mode, the computing system can set a current acceleration value to the second maximum stopping rate. The computing system can transmit the current acceleration value for implementation by the autonomous vehicle.
