Systems and methods for determining an Automated Vehicle (AV) trajectory are described. More particularly, a method for determining an AV trajectory proceeds by communicatively coupling an AV content generating device to an AV system controller. The AV content generating device collects target data associated with a target. The AV system controller extracts target features from the target data. The AV system controller compares the extracted target features to target model data to determine a target pose. The AV system controller compares the target pose with at least one target objective to determine an AV trajectory.
