Abstract

A method may include obtaining one or more inputs in which each of the inputs describes at least one of: a state of an autonomous vehicle (AV) or a state of an object; and identifying a prediction context of the AV based on the inputs. The method may also include determining a relevancy of each object of a plurality of objects to the AV in relation to the prediction context; and outputting a set of relevant objects based on the relevancy determination for each of the plurality of objects. Another method may include obtaining a set of objects designated as relevant to operation of an AV; selecting a trajectory prediction approach for a given object based on context of the AV and characteristics of the given object; predicting a trajectory of the given object using the selected trajectory prediction approach; and outputting the given object and the predicted trajectory.
