Systems, methods, and media for factoring localization uncertainty of an ADV into its planning and control process to increase the safety of the ADV. The uncertainty of the localization can be caused by sensor inaccuracy, map matching algorithm inaccuracy, and/or speed uncertainty. The localization uncertainty can have negative impact on trajectory planning and vehicle control. Embodiments described herein are intended to increase the safety of the ADV by considering localization uncertainty in trajectory planning and vehicle control. An exemplary method includes determining a confidence region for an ADV that is automatically driving on a road segment based on localization uncertainty and speed uncertainty; determining that an object is within the confidence region, and a probability of collision with the ADV based on a distance of the object to the ADV; and planning a trajectory based on the probability of collision, and controlling the ADV based on the probability of collision.
