Abstract
A relevance filter may determine to use additional computing resources to generate predicted trajectory(ies) for a subset object(s) detected by a vehicle that depend on a candidate action for controlling the vehicle. The relevance filter may determine the subset by a memory storage and parallel computing technique that includes determining a set of vehicle states associated with a path for controlling the vehicle; determining a set of object states associated with a predicted trajectory of an object; determining a set of interaction scores based on the set of vehicle states and the set of object states; determining, based on the set of interaction scores, a trajectory importance score associated with the predicted trajectory; determining, based on the trajectory importance score, an object importance score associated with the object; and controlling the vehicle based at least in part on the object importance score and/or a new predicted trajectory for the object.
