    Abstract: A system obtains scene context data characterizing the environment. The scene context data includes data that characterizes a trajectory of an agent in a vicinity of a vehicle up to a current time point. The system identifies a plurality of initial target locations, and generates, for each of a plurality of target locations that each corresponds to one of the initial target locations, a respective predicted likelihood score that represents a likelihood that the target location will be an intended final location for a future trajectory of the agent. For each target location in a first subset of the target locations, the system generates a predicted future trajectory for the agent given that the target location is the intended final location for the future trajectory. The system further selects, as likely future trajectories of the agent, one or more of the predicted future trajectories.

    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for generating a distance estimate for a target object that is depicted in an image of a scene in an environment. The system obtains data specifying (i) a target portion of the image that depicts the target object detected in the image, and (ii) one or more reference portions of the image that each depict a respective reference object detected in the image. The system further obtains, for each of the one or more reference objects, a respective distance measurement for the reference object that is a measurement of a distance from the reference object to a specified location in the environment. The system processes the obtained data to generate a distance estimate for the target object that is an estimate of a distance from the target object to the specified location in the environment.
