1. An identification system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
identify surrounding vehicles including indeterminate vehicles from a driving environment using temporary identifiers received from the surrounding vehicles;
generate trajectories for the indeterminate vehicles;
distinguish the indeterminate vehicles from communications using the temporary identifiers by observing execution of the trajectories by the indeterminate vehicles, and a subject vehicle changes motion that induces the trajectories for one of the indeterminate vehicles unable to process a maneuver message (MM) and the subject vehicle directly invokes the trajectories by transmitting the MM to the surrounding vehicles; and
execute a planning task by the subject vehicle using safety information from the communications.
