Methods and systems for controlling vehicle lateral lane positioning are described. A computing device may be configured to identify an object in a vicinity of a vehicle on a road. The computing device may be configured to estimate, based on characteristics of the vehicle and respective characteristics of the object, an interval of time during which the vehicle will be laterally adjacent to the object. Based on the characteristics of the vehicle, the computing device may be configured to estimate longitudinal positions of the vehicle on the road during the interval of time. Based on the respective characteristics of the object, the computing device may be configured to determine a lateral distance for the vehicle to maintain between the vehicle and the object during the interval of time at the longitudinal positions of the vehicle, and provide instructions to control the vehicle based on the lateral distance. |

1. A method comprising:
classifying, by a computing device, a first vehicle on or proximate to a road of travel of a second vehicle controlled by the computing device as being a particular vehicle type from among at least a first vehicle type, a second vehicle type, and a third vehicle type, wherein the first vehicle type is indicative of motorcycles, the second vehicle type is indicative of cars, and the third vehicle type is indicative of trucks; estimating, based on characteristics of the second vehicle and respective characteristics of the first vehicle, one or more positions at which the second vehicle will be adjacent to the first vehicle; determining, by the computing device based, at least in part, on the particular vehicle type of the first vehicle, a lateral distance to be maintained between the second vehicle and the first vehicle at the one or more positions; and providing, by the computing device, instructions to control the second vehicle based on the lateral distance. |
