In one embodiment, an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) operates in an on-lane mode, where the ADV follows a path along a vehicle lane. In response to determining that the ADV is approaching a dead-end, the ADV switches to an open-space mode. While in the open-space mode, the ADV conducts a three-point turn using a series of steering and throttle commands to generate forward and reverse movements until the ADV is within a) a threshold heading, and b) a threshold distance, relative to the vehicle lane. The ADV can then return to the on-lane mode and resume along the vehicle lane away from the dead-end.
