Abstract

Systems and techniques for whether to associate predicted trajectories of objects detected in an environment with candidate vehicle trajectories are described. A vehicle traversing an environment may have several candidate actions that may be used to control the vehicle. Predicted object trajectories may be excluded from further processing based on a relevancy score determination. Various factors may be evaluated to determine the relevancy score associated with a predicted object trajectory and candidate vehicle action pair that indicated the impact of the predicted object trajectory and candidate vehicle action. A resultant trajectory may be determined using only those relevant predicted object trajectories.
