An autonomous vehicle automatically implements a lane change in dense traffic condition. A minimum distance gap between the vehicle and a vehicle in front of the present vehicle is calculated for an autonomous vehicle, along with a best trajectory for changing lanes into a left adjacent lane or changing lanes into a right adjacent lane. The left or right lane change is triggered by the driver or the global planner that navigates the vehicle. During the next cycle, pre-calculated information is utilized by a planning module to determine the final speed of the trajectory to complete the final planning trajectory for the lane change.
