In one embodiment, a method includes accessing sensor data associated with an environment of the vehicle; identifying agents in the environment based on the sensor data; determining a probability distribution indicative of whether a preliminary trajectory of each of the agents intersects a potential travel space of the vehicle; generating a prioritization of the agents based on the probability distribution; allocating an amount of computing resources of the vehicle for analyzing each of one or more of the agents based on the prioritization and characteristics of the respective one or more agents; and predicting a trajectory of one or more of the agents according to the allocated computing resources. An accuracy of the prediction is proportional to the amount of allocated computing resources. The method also includes determining, based on the analysis of the agents, one or more operations for the vehicle to perform.
