Abstract
A surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle is perceived to identify one or more vehicles nearby. For each of the identified vehicles, based on a current location of the identified vehicle, vehicle-independent information is obtained to determine context surrounding the identified vehicle, where the vehicle-independent information includes vehicle surrounding information that defines physical constraints imposed on the identified vehicle. For each of the identified vehicles, one or more trajectories for the identified vehicle are predicted based at least in part on the vehicle-independent information associated with the identified vehicle. The autonomous vehicle is controlled based on the one or more predicted trajectories of the one or more identified vehicles.
