1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, using one or more processors of a vehicle, an instruction for the vehicle to travel from an initial spatiotemporal location to a destination spatiotemporal location;

    generating, using the one or more processors, a trajectory comprising a plurality of travel segments, the trajectory beginning at the initial spatiotemporal location and terminating at the destination spatiotemporal location, each travel segment of the plurality of travel segments beginning at a first spatiotemporal location of a plurality of spatiotemporal locations and terminating at a second spatiotemporal location of the plurality of spatiotemporal locations, each travel segment of the plurality of travel segments associated with a plurality of operational metrics,wherein the plurality of operational metrics associated with navigating the vehicle from the first spatiotemporal location to the second spatiotemporal location, the plurality of spatiotemporal locations including the initial spatiotemporal location and the destination spatiotemporal location,wherein the generating of the trajectory comprises optimizing each operational metric of the plurality of operational metrics across the plurality of travel segments to provide the trajectory, the optimizing performed in accordance with a ranking of the plurality of operational metrics, the ranking associated with navigational safety of the vehicle; and

    navigating, using a control module of the vehicle, the vehicle from the initial spatiotemporal location to the destination spatiotemporal location in accordance with the trajectory.
