Abstract
An error estimation component may generate contours or a heat map of a likelihood that an object detection or prediction generated by a perception component of an autonomous vehicle is inaccurate. The contours or heat map may be used to lock or unlock actions available to a planning component and the planning component may use the contours or heat for determining a trajectory for controlling the autonomous vehicle. The planning component may additionally or alternatively alter operation of a sensor or determine a trajectory to unlock a target action that is currently locked due to a size/extent of uncertainty indicated by a contour/heat map.
