1. A computer-implemented method for maneuvering a vehicle, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by one or more computing devices, sensor data identifying a first object in a vehicle'"'"'s environment;

    generating, by the one or more computing devices, a set of possible future trajectories of the first object based on the sensor data for the first object;

    identifying a first plurality of waypoints based on each trajectory in the set of possible future trajectories, wherein a waypoint includes a position and a timestamp corresponding to a future time;

    determining a trajectory of the vehicle, wherein the trajectory of the vehicle includes a second plurality of waypoints;

    comparing the first plurality of waypoints to the second plurality of waypoints; and

    maneuvering, by the one or more computing devices, the vehicle in order to avoid the first object based on the comparison.
