Abstract
A trajectory estimate of a wheeled vehicle can be determined based at least in part on determining a wheel angle associated with the vehicle. In some examples, at least a portion of the image associated with the wheeled vehicle may be input into a machine-learned model that is trained to classify and/or regress wheel directions of wheeled vehicles. The machine-learned model may output a predicted wheel direction. The wheel direction and/or additional or historical sensor data may be used to estimate a trajectory of the wheeled vehicle. The predicted trajectory of the object can then be used to generate and refine an autonomous vehicle's trajectory as the autonomous vehicle proceeds through the environment.
