Systems and methods are disclosed for determining the efficacy of an autonomous vehicle driving system in exhibiting safe driving behavior during test track scenarios. Testing parameters eliciting autonomous vehicle driving system behavior may be chosen for the test track scenario. The autonomous vehicle driving system may be tested in the test track and autonomous vehicle driving system behavior may be observed in response to the presentations of testing parameters. A safe driving score may be calculated for the autonomous vehicle driving system based on measured autonomous vehicle performance and operational data generated responsive to the presentation of testing parameters in the test track. A benchmark insurance premium may be calculated for an autonomous vehicle driving system based on the calculated safe driving score.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to using vehicle telematics data to assess parameters associated with vehicle operation. In some instances, a driving assessment system may include a first computing device associated with a user in a vehicle and a second computing located remotely from the first computing device. The first computing device may collect, by way of one or more of an accelerometer and global positioning system (GPS), vehicle operational data and vehicle locational information associated with the vehicle and corresponding to a trip of the vehicle and may transmit such information to the second computing device. The second computing device may identify actionable and second order actionable trip data from the vehicle operational data and vehicle locational information and may calculate a behavior score for the trip.
