Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for predicting how likely it is that a target agent in an environment will yield to another agent when the pair of agents are predicted to have overlapping future paths. In one aspect, a method comprises obtaining a first trajectory prediction specifying a predicted future path for a target agent in an environment; obtaining a second trajectory prediction specifying a predicted future path for another agent in the environment; determining that, at an overlapping region, the predicted future path for the target agent overlaps with the predicted future path for the other agent; and in response: providing as input to a machine learning model respective features for the target agent and the other agent; and obtaining the likelihood score as output from the machine learning model.
