A method for autonomous navigation of an autonomous vehicle includes: accessing a first scan image containing data captured by a sensor on the autonomous vehicle at a first time; identifying a first group of points in the first scan image representing an object in a field proximal the autonomous vehicle; characterizing a first motion of the object at the first time based on the first group of points; characterizing an uncertainty of the first motion of the object at the first time; calculating a predicted second uncertainty of a second motion of the object at a second time based on the first motion of the object and motion of the autonomous vehicle at the first time; and, in response to the predicted second uncertainty falling below the uncertainty, muting the object from braking consideration for object avoidance by the autonomous vehicle at the second time.
