Abstract
Various technologies described herein pertain to controlling an autonomous vehicle to suppress data corresponding to predefined static objects in a radar output generated by a radar sensor system. A computing system of the autonomous vehicle retrieves prior data for a geographic location from a prior radar space map. The prior radar space map includes prior data for geographic locations in an environment corresponding to whether predefined static objects to be suppressed in radar outputs are located at the geographic locations. The computing system generates a score representative of a likelihood of a tracked object being at the geographic location based on data from the radar output for the geographic location, data from an output of a second sensor system for the geographic location, and the prior data for the geographic location from the prior radar space map. An engine, braking system, and/or steering system are controlled based on the score.
