Techniques for determining an uncertainty metric associated with an object in an environment can include determining the object in the environment and a set of candidate trajectories associated with the object. Further, a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, can be controlled based at least in part on the uncertainty metric. The vehicle can determine a traversed trajectory associated with the object and determine a difference between the traversed trajectory and the set of candidate trajectories. Based on the difference, the vehicle can determine an uncertainty metric associated with the object. In some instances, the vehicle can input the traversed trajectory and the set of candidate trajectories to a machine-learned model that can output the uncertainty metric.
