1. A coordination system, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
process acquired data, by a subject vehicle using a prediction model, to execute a vehicle task associated with navigation of a driving scene;
extract processed data according to the acquired data from intermediate activations of layers within the prediction model according to a cooperation model;
quantify relevancy of the processed data, for a target vehicle, to select a subset associated with the intermediate activations using the cooperation model, and the relevancy adapts with trajectory estimates of the target vehicle received from a selected vehicle; and
communicate the subset to the selected vehicle having the prediction model for an additional prediction according to the relevancy and available resources to transmit the subset.
