Disclosed is robust multimodal sensor fusion for autonomous driving vehicles. Techniques are disclosed for using neural network architectures to estimate predictive uncertainty measures, which quantify how much trust should be placed in the deep neural network (DNN) results. The techniques include measuring reliable uncertainty scores for a neural network, which are widely used in perception and decision-making tasks in automated driving. The uncertainty measurements are made with respect to both model uncertainty and data uncertainty, and may implement Bayesian neural networks or other types of neural networks.
