Techniques for detecting and responding to an emergency vehicle are discussed. A vehicle computing system may determine that an emergency vehicle based on sensor data, such as audio and visual data. In some examples, the vehicle computing system may determine aggregate actions of objects (e.g., other vehicles yielding) proximate the vehicle based on the sensor data. In such examples, a determination that the emergency vehicle is operating may be based on the actions of the objects. The vehicle computing system may, in turn, identify a location to move out of a path of the emergency vehicle (e.g., yield) and may control the vehicle to the location. The vehicle computing system may determine that the emergency vehicle is no longer relevant to the vehicle and may control the vehicle along a route to a destination. Determining to yield and/or returning to a mission may be confirmed by a remote operator.
