An end-to-end perception perturbation modeling system for a vehicle includes one or more controllers storing a detection model in memory. The detection model includes a plurality of detection model plots that each indicate a probability value that an object in an environment surrounding the vehicle is detected based on a current weather condition and a distance measured between the vehicle and the object detected in the environment surrounding the vehicle. The one or more controllers execute instructions to receive an input state of the vehicle that is observed during non-inclement weather conditions and indicates one or more vehicle states, the current weather condition, and the distance. The controllers determine a perturbed state of the vehicle observed during the current weather condition.

According to several aspects, a method for path planning for a vehicle includes determining a predicted trajectory of a remote vehicle. The predicted trajectory of the remote vehicle includes a plurality of predicted trajectory nodes. The method further includes determining a plurality of possible trajectories for the vehicle. The plurality of possible trajectories includes a plurality of possible trajectory nodes. The method further includes determining one or more evaluation metrics of each of the plurality of possible trajectory nodes based at least in part on a weather condition in an environment surrounding the vehicle. The method further includes selecting an optimal trajectory for the vehicle from the plurality of possible trajectories based at least in part on the one or more evaluation metrics of each of the plurality of possible trajectory nodes. The method further includes performing a first action based at least in part on the optimal trajectory.
