Systems and methods for identifying potential collisions in which another vehicle may collide with the AV. The AV detects the other vehicle and determines the other vehicle speed, acceleration, and trajectory. The AV determines that there is a risk of collision if the other vehicle continues on its current trajectory at its current speed and its current acceleration. When an AV determines there is an imminent risk that another vehicle may collide with the AV, the AV can initiate a honk to alert the other vehicle of the potential collision. In some examples, the AV can identify a potential rear end collision, and the AV can honk at the vehicle approaching it from behind. In other examples, the approaching vehicle can come from any direction. Honking is designed to be limited so that an AV does not initiate too many honks.
