- Model Predictive Control (MPC) implementation
- Lattice planner implementation
- Collision checking algorithms
- Comfort and safety constraint handling
- Emergency maneuver planning
- Parking trajectory generation

## Usage Guidelines
- Design behavior planning for predictable driving patterns
- Optimize trajectories for comfort and efficiency
- Implement robust collision checking at all planning stages
- Handle edge cases and emergency situations
- Validate planning algorithms in simulation
- Document algorithm parameters and tuning
