Claim 7:
8. A method performed by one or more processors in a vehicle with an autonomous driving capability, the method comprising:
processing data to identify a risk during a current instance of driving the vehicle;
in response to identifying the risk, modifying the autonomous driving capability of the vehicle, wherein the modifying comprises:
determining that the location of the risk is near a current location of the vehicle;
in response to determining that the location of the risk is near the current location of the vehicle, obtaining information about the risk by analyzing signals from one or more sensors associated with the vehicle;
configuring a perception process corresponding to the autonomous driving capability of the vehicle to consider the obtained information about the risk as prior information; and
recognizing one or more objects in a driving environment of the vehicle by applying probabilistic inference to the one or more objects based at least on the prior information; and

causing movement of the vehicle based on modifying the autonomous driving capability of the vehicle.
