A computing device and system for an autonomous host vehicle 100 includes a data storage medium and a processing device. The computing device is programmed to detect a host vehicle lane change from a first lane 310 to a second lane 315, ignore or disregard a current target vehicle 305 in the first lane before the host vehicle completes the lane change, and select a vehicle in the second lane as a new target vehicle 320 before the host vehicle completes the lane change. The target vehicle may be a preceding vehicle that the host vehicle uses to follow. The intention for the host vehicle lane change may be determined by its position with respect to lane markings, its steering angle, and its turn indicator status. The host vehicle may accelerate or decelerate after setting the new target vehicle. The new target vehicle may also be ignored based on a distance between the host and the new target vehicle.
