Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can detect an occurrence of a condition in an environment based on sensor data captured by a vehicle. A determination is made whether the occurrence of the condition satisfies a threshold associated with a likelihood that a behavior associated with an object in the environment will occur based on an interaction between the condition and the object, wherein the likelihood is based on prior observations of one or more objects. Subsequent to determining that the threshold is satisfied, a vehicle operation that is associated with the likelihood that the behavior associated with the object will occur is performed.
