After perceiving our environment, we need to make some decisions or plan our course of action in order to reach a destination.

1. Long Term
   • How to navigate from A to B?
2. Short Term
   • Can I change my lane?
   • Can I pass this intersection and then turn Right?
3. Immediate
   • Can I stay on track on this curved road?
   • Accelerate or brake, by how much?

1. Reactive Planning
   • Also known as Rule Based Planning
   • Examples include, if a person is crossing the street, slow down.
2. Predictive Planning
   • This is the predominant planning method in AV industry.
   • This method predicts the movement or future actions and behaves accordingly.
   • This hugely depends on the quality and accuracy of the prediction.
