A computer-implemented method of performing an autonomous lane merging of a vehicle. The method includes: identifying one or more objects in a plurality of lanes in the vicinity of the vehicle; identifying one or more gaps among the one or more objects; determining a mode of the vehicle; determining a terminal state of a planned trajectory of the vehicle based on the identified objects, gaps, and the mode of the vehicle; performing a sanity check based on the terminal state of the planned trajectory; generating the planned trajectory of the vehicle if the sanity check passes; providing the planned trajectory to a controller of the vehicle to autonomously move the vehicle according to the planned trajectory.
