Abstract

See full text

This document discloses system, method, and computer program product embodiments for controlling a vehicle. For example, the method includes: receiving an observation probability distribution function associated with a target object that was detected by sensor(s) of an autonomous vehicle (AV); identifying a target attribute associated with the target object; detecting a target attribute value associated with the target attribute; and issuing vehicle control instruction(s) that cause AV to adjust driving operation(s) using a future behavior of the target object predicted based on an attribute probability distribution function that defines a probability that the target attribute is actually present for the target object based on probability distribution function(s), wherein the attribute probability distribution function comprises: a probability value associated with the target attribute being present for the target object; and a probability value associated with the target attribute not being present for the target object.
