Embodiments provide a vehicle computer coupled to a vehicle. The vehicle computer may be configured to compute (e.g., generate) an automated lane change maneuver moving the vehicle from a first lane into a second, adjacent lane. The lane change maneuver may have commenced while the maneuver was safe to conduct, but a threat vehicle (or another threat object) may be subsequently detected moving into the same target lane. The option to immediately abort the maneuver and return to the original lane may not be appropriate after some time into the lane change maneuver. The vehicle computer may control the vehicle in a lateral position hold along the lane demarcation line for a predetermined amount of time before moving into the second lane when the threat vehicle clears the second lane or returning to the first lane when the threat vehicle does not clear the second lane.
