1. A method for operating a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode, the method comprising:
detecting, by a perception system of the vehicle, one or more objects in an external environment of the vehicle during an initial sensor operation, each of the one or more detected objects having a first confidence level associated therewith based on the initial sensor operation;
causing, by a control system of the vehicle, the vehicle to take a preliminary action in response to the detecting of the one or more objects having the first confidence level;
detecting, by the perception system of the vehicle, at least one of the one or more objects in the external environment during a subsequent sensor operation, each of the at least one of the one or more detected objects having a second confidence level associated therewith based on the subsequent sensor operation; and
causing, by the control system, the vehicle to take a secondary action in response to the detecting the at least one of the one or more objects having the second confidence level.
