1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving sensor data;
generating, based at least in part on the sensor data, an estimated map of an environment comprising policy information for driving within the environment;
comparing first information associated with a stored map of the environment with second information associated with the estimated map to determine whether the stored map is consistent with the estimated map, the first information is a trajectory, determined based at least in part on the stored map, along which an object is to follow and the second information is a label associated with a portion of the estimated map to which the trajectory corresponds; and
controlling the object based at least in part on results of the comparing.
