Path Planning Algorithm
Determines the optimal route for a vehicle to reach its destination safely.

Path planning algorithms calculate smooth and collision-free trajectories considering road geometry, obstacles, and driving laws. They operate on real-time perception data and predictive motion models. Common methods include A*, RRT, and model predictive control. The planner constantly updates the route based on sensor input and system constraints. Efficient path planning ensures passenger comfort and energy-efficient driving behavior in autonomous systems.
