Abstract
Systems and methods for operating an autonomous vehicle. The methods comprising: obtaining one or more candidate vehicle trajectories for the autonomous vehicle and context information defining a state of an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle; assigning class(es) to a scenario specified by the context information and a first candidate vehicle trajectory; generating a first quality score for the first candidate vehicle trajectory using scoring function(s) selected based on the assigned class(es); select a candidate vehicle trajectory based on the first quality score associated with the first candidate vehicle trajectory and second quality score(s) associated with at least one second candidate vehicle trajectory; and causing the autonomous vehicle to perform autonomous driving operations using the selected candidate vehicle trajectory.
