    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for predicting future trajectories for an agent in an environment. 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 in an environment up to a current time point. The system identifies a plurality of initial target locations in the environment. The system further 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 starting from the current time point. For each target location in a first subset of the target locations, the system generates a predicted future trajectory for the agent that is a prediction of the future trajectory of 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 starting from the current time point, one or more of the predicted future trajectories.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to training and using a model for identifying actions of objects. For instance, LIDAR sensor data frames including an object bounding box corresponding to an object as well as an action label for the bounding box may be received. Each sensor frame is associated with a timestamp and is sequenced with respect to other sensor frames. Each given sensor data frame may be projected into a camera image of the object based on the timestamp associated with the given sensor data frame in order to provide fused data. The model may be trained using the fused data such that the model is configured to, in response to receiving fused data, the model outputs an action label for each object bounding box of the fused data. This output may then be used to control a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode.
