1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform:
identifying, in a map, one or more entities that change over time;
predicting an amount of change of the identified one or more entities over time based on a time scale or a relationship over time;
obtaining an updated image corresponding to the one or more entities at a particular time after the one or more entities have been identified;
determining, from the updated image, an actual amount of change;
updating the predicted amount of change based on the actual amount of change;
generating an updated map based on the updated predicted amount of change of the one or more entities over time or based on the actual amount of change; and
navigating the vehicle based on the updated map.
