Autonomous vehicles (AVs) utilize perception and understanding of objects on the road to predict behaviors of the objects, and to plan a trajectory for the vehicle. In some scenarios, an AV may benefit from having information about an object that is not within a perceivable area of the sensors of the AV. Another AV in the area that has the object within a perceivable area of the sensors of the other AV may share information with the AV. Rich information about the object determined by the other AV can be compressed using an encoder and transferred efficiently to the AV for inclusion in a temporal map that combines locally determined object information and transferred object information determined by other AV(s). The temporal map may be used in one or more parts of the software stack of the AV.
