1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
obtaining, by one or more processors in a vehicle, a proposed trajectory for the vehicle in response to a driving scenario;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, a speed profile corresponding to the proposed trajectory for the vehicle from a machine learning network that is trained to generate one or more speed profiles, the machine learning network trained using training vectors corresponding to a plurality of trajectories and a plurality of corresponding speed profiles that are determined based on data received from a plurality of distinct perception pipelines associated with the vehicle;
determining, by the one or more processors, that the obtained speed profile satisfies one or more criteria for driving the vehicle; and
in response to determining that the obtained speed profile satisfies one or more criteria for driving the vehicle, causing operation of the vehicle along the proposed trajectory.
