The proposed contrastive learning framework aims to improve autonomous driving’s motion planning by incorporating richer contextual information into trajectory predictions. The framework consists of two stages: first, it generates rich contextual features using a baseline encoder-decoder architecture; then, it reweights the model using prototypes computed from training dynamics information. This approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on naturalistic datasets by improving accuracy and scene compliance on long-tail samples.

Autonomous driving needs to predict road users’ future movements for safe navigation. But current methods struggle when faced with rare scenarios, like accidents or construction zones. To solve this problem, researchers are working on a new approach that combines information about motion patterns with details about the scene and interactions between objects. This paper proposes a two-step method: first, it gathers more context from the training data; then, it uses this info to improve trajectory predictions. The results show that this approach outperforms existing methods by predicting better trajectories in challenging situations.
