Classification: CPC G  B  H | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A device, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor operatively coupled to the memory and comprising computer executable components comprising:
a trajectory determination component that:
identifies an adjacent-lane traveling vehicle traveling at least partially in a first lane that is adjacent to a second lane in which a vehicle comprising the device is traveling, and
determines a trajectory of the adjacent-lane traveling vehicle, and
determines that the trajectory of the adjacent-lane traveling vehicle and a curvature of a road comprising the first lane and the second lane will cause visibility of the adjacent-lane traveling vehicle, from the vehicle, to be impaired by a succeeding vehicle traveling at least partially in the second lane, wherein the succeeding vehicle is behind the vehicle; and

a collision avoidance component that, in response to the trajectory of the adjacent-lane traveling vehicle and the impaired visibility of the adjacent-lane traveling vehicle from the vehicle, initiates a collision avoidance action for the vehicle to prevent the vehicle from making a lane change from the second lane to the first lane.
