Abstract

Techniques for predicting positions of objects in an environment are described herein. For example, the techniques may include clustering predicted object positions and using a representative target for one or more clusters to determine a predicted position of an autonomous vehicle. The clusters may vary in size, number of positions, etc. Object positions can be selected from one or more clusters for consideration during vehicle planning, which may include simulation.
