A vehicle computing system may implement techniques to control a vehicle to avoid collisions between the vehicle and an object in an environment in which a vehicle path and an object path merge. The techniques may include determining an initial merge location associated with the vehicle path and the object path and a final merge location. The final merge location may represent a location at which the vehicle is proximate to and ahead of the object. The vehicle computing system may determine whether the vehicle may proceed to the final merge location and merge with the object without the occurrence of a collision. The vehicle computing system may determine to maintain a vehicle trajectory or modify the vehicle to trajectory to yield to the object based on a determination of whether the vehicle may proceed without the occurrence of the collision.
