PATH-BASED TRAJECTORY PREDICTION

Among other things, techniques are described for path-based trajectory prediction (e.g., for autonomous driving). The technique includes: obtaining information about one or more agents in a portion of an environment where a vehicle is operating, the information including data associated with locations of the one or more agents in the portion of the environment; for each of at least one agent of the one or more agents, determining a reference path for the agent based on a location of the agent in the environment, and predicting a future trajectory of the agent based on the reference path; and operating the vehicle based on one or more predicted future trajectories of the at least one agent of the one or more agents.
