1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
determining, by computer hardware components, information on an expected trajectory of an object by at least:
determining input data related to the expected trajectory of the object;
determining, based on the input data and using a first encoding network, a first latent code corresponding to the expected trajectory of the object;
determining, based on the input data and using a method based on physical laws, results corresponding to the expected trajectory of the object;
determining, based on the results and using a second encoding network, a second latent code corresponding to the expected trajectory of the object;
fusing, using a fusion network, the first latent code and the second latent code to create a fused latent code or a weight;
determining the expected trajectory by:
decoding the fused latent code: or
decoding the first latent code and the second latent code; and
combining the decoded first latent code and the decoded second latent code using the weight; and
operating a vehicle in at least a partially autonomous mode based on the expected trajectory.
