Abstract
An autonomous vehicle uses machine learning based models to predict hidden context attributes associated with traffic entities. The system uses the hidden context to predict behavior of people near a vehicle in a way that more closely resembles how human drivers would judge the behavior. The system determines an activation threshold value for a braking system of the autonomous vehicle based on the hidden context. The system modifies a world model based on the hidden context predicted by the machine learning based model. The autonomous vehicle is safely navigated, such that the vehicle stays at least a threshold distance away from traffic entities.
