Abstract
A collision avoidance system may validate, reject, or replace a trajectory generated to control a vehicle. The collision avoidance system may comprise a secondary perception component that may comprise one or more machine learned models, each of which may be trained to output one or more occupancy maps based at least in part on sensor data of different types. The occupancy maps may include a prediction of whether at least a portion of an environment is occupied at a future time by any one of multiple object types. Occupancy maps associated with a same time may be aggregated into a data structure that may be used to validate, reject, or replace the trajectory.
