Systems and methods for vehicles resolving a standoff

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for resolving a standoff by a vehicle and including instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• generate a happens-before relationship that explains events between the vehicle and other vehicles before the standoff, wherein the standoff is a dispute for a right of way between the vehicle and the other vehicles;
• identify the standoff using a causality relationship analysis according to the happens-before relationship;
• generate a mitigation plan for the standoff that forms standoff solutions in association with the standoff being similar to a prior standoff;
• and
• resolve the standoff by causing vehicle maneuvers associated with the vehicle according to the standoff solutions.
