Arrangements related to mitigating risk for autonomous vehicles in occupant view and vehicle sensor obstructed environments are presented. An information critical area in an external environment can be identified relative to a future planned driving maneuver of the autonomous vehicle. If at least a portion of the information critical area is outside of a determined occupant viewable area and a determined sensor detection area due to the presence of an obstructing object, it can be determined whether the obstructing object is moving favorably relative to the future planned driving maneuver. If the obstructing object is moving favorably relative to the future planned driving maneuver, the autonomous vehicle can be caused to implement the future planned driving maneuver while moving relative to the obstructing object so as to be shielded by the detected obstructing object from any potential objects located in the at least a portion of the information critical area.
