Abstract

Techniques for determining behavior profiles and unique identities for objects observed in an environment surrounding an autonomous vehicle are described. The behavior profiles may be generated and associated with unique identifiers that are stored and used by a fleet of vehicles for planning and navigating in traffic environments. The behavior profiles may be used to control operation of the vehicle and increase safety of the vehicle by identifying potentially risky or erratic objects and navigating through the environment accordingly. The behavior profiles may be stored at a central database and propagated across a fleet to increase observations used to build profiles and thereby increase profile confidence.
