Systems and methods of model or prediction algorithm selection are provided. An autonomous control system may include a perception component that, based on environmental inputs regarding an object(s), a vehicle's operating characteristics, etc., outputs a current state of the vehicle's surrounding environment. This in turn, is used as input to a prediction component comprising a plurality of prediction algorithms. The prediction component outputs a set of predictions regarding the trajectory of the object(s). Accordingly, for each object, a set of trajectories at specific timesteps may be generated by the different prediction algorithms which are input to a planner component. These trajectories may then be analyzed, compared, or otherwise processed to determine which trajectory regarding the object is most accurate. The prediction algorithm or model that produced the most accurate predicted trajectory may then be used for subsequent predictions/timesteps.
