Techniques are discussed herein for generating, evaluating, and determining trajectories for autonomous vehicles traversing environments. A state transition model may be generated and used to determine a trajectory from multiple possible trajectories generated by one or more vehicle systems. In some examples, a state transition model may determine a trajectory based on the validation results of the possible trajectories, along with vehicle status data from one or more vehicle components. Various techniques described herein may improve vehicle safety and driving efficiency, by ensuring that the vehicle determines a safe and valid trajectory consistently while navigating the environment, while also being responsive to requests and status updates from various vehicle components.
