Methods of determining relevance of objects that a vehicle's perception system detects are disclosed. A system on or in communication with the vehicle will identify a time horizon, and a look-ahead lane based on a lane in which the vehicle is currently traveling. The system defines a region of interest (ROI) that includes one or more lane segments within the look-ahead lane. The system identifies a first subset that includes objects located within the ROI, but not objects not located within the ROI. The system identifies a second subset that includes objects located within the ROI that may interact with the vehicle during the time horizon, but not excludes actors that may not interact with the vehicle during the time horizon. The system classifies any object that is in the first subset, the second subset or both subsets as a priority relevant object.
