Abstract
Techniques for determining a safety area for a vehicle are discussed herein. In some cases, a first safety area can be based on a vehicle travelling through an environment and a second safety area can be based on a steering control or a velocity of the vehicle. A width of the safety areas can be updated based on a position of a bounding box associated with the vehicle. The position can be based on the vehicle traversing along a trajectory. Sensor data can be filtered based on the sensor data falling within the safety area(s).
