## Summary

The authors propose a filter-agnostic pipeline that modulates the conservativeness of a safety filter at runtime using policy confidence: inside the filter's operational design domain (ODD), confidence is traded for performance; beyond the ODD, low confidence yields additional safety margin. Preliminary F1TENTH simulations show that the modulated filter combines the strengths of permissive and conservative filters.
