determine that the object being located more than a certain distance from the autonomous vehicle and a location of the object are respectively included in two different rules in the plurality of rules, wherein the two different rules belong to two classifications that are indicative of two different frequencies with which updated attributes of the object are to be determined; and
assign, based on the determine that the object being located more than the certain distance and the location of the object are included in two different rules, the classification to the object, wherein the classification is indicative of a frequency that is higher of the two different frequencies; and

send instructions that cause the autonomous vehicle to apply brakes in response to another determination that a first vehicle included in the objects is slowing down.
