Trajectory prediction models help an AV achieve this understanding by estimating the future positions and/or intent of the agents around the vehicle. These models generally predict future trajectories based on the observed trajectories of agents, but can also utilize additional information about the agents or their environment. Recent trajectory prediction datasets provide high-definition (HD) road maps annotated by humans that additionally contain lane information. However, using human annotators is costly and can delay much-needed map updates when the static environment changes.
