Methods and systems for controlling a vehicle are described. A computing device may be configured to identify an object on or proximate to a road on which a vehicle is travelling. The computing device may be configured to estimate, based on characteristics of the vehicle and respective characteristics of the object, one or more positions at which the vehicle will be adjacent to the object, wherein the characteristics of the vehicle include a speed and a direction of motion of the vehicle, and wherein the respective characteristics of the object include a respective speed and a respective direction of motion of the object. Based on the respective characteristics of the object, the computing device may be configured to determine a distance for the vehicle to maintain between the vehicle and the object at the one or more positions of the vehicle; and provide instructions to control the vehicle based on the distance.
