Abstract

Techniques for accurately predicting vehicle state errors for avoiding collisions with objects detected in an environment of a vehicle are discussed herein. A vehicle safety system can implement a model determine a representation of the vehicle usable in a scenario. The model may dynamically determine a size and/or a heading of the vehicle representation based on differences between a candidate trajectory and a current trajectory of the vehicle. The safety system can identify a potential collision between the vehicle and the object based at least in part on an overlap of the vehicle representation and an object representation.
