Abstract

Systems and methods for determining object motion and controlling autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system can be configured to perform operations. The operations can include obtaining data indicative of state(s) of a first object and a second object within a surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle. The operations can include determining a first predicted motion trajectory of the first object based at least in part on the state data. The operations can include determining a second predicted motion trajectory of the second object based at least in part on the state data and the first predicted motion trajectory of the first object. The operations can include determining a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the second predicted motion trajectory of the second object and initiating a motion control in accordance with at least a portion of the motion plan.
