Full Uncertainty for Motion Planning in Autonomous Vehicles

Systems and methods for motion planning by a vehicle computing system of an autonomous vehicle are provided. The vehicle computing system can input sensor data to a machine-learned system including one or more machine-learned models. The computing system can obtain, as an output of the machine-learned model(s), motion prediction(s) associated with object(s) detected by the system. The system can convert a shape of the object(s) into a probability of occupancy by convolving an occupied area of the object(s) with a continuous uncertainty associated with the object(s). The system can determine a probability of future occupancy of a plurality of locations in the environment at future times based at least in part on the motion prediction(s) and the probability of occupancy of the object(s). The system can provide the motion prediction(s) and the probability of future occupancy of the plurality of locations to a motion planning system of the autonomous vehicle.
