Abstract

Testing autonomous vehicle control systems in the real world can be difficult, because creating and re-creating physical scenarios for repeated testing may be impractical. In some implementations, detailed map data and data acquired through driving in a region can be used to identify similar segments of a drivable surface. Simulation scenarios used to test one of the similar segments may be used to test other of the similar segments. The driving data may also be used to generate and/or validate the simulation scenarios, e.g., by re-creating scenarios encountered while driving in a first segment in a simulation scenario for use in the second segment and comparing simulated driving behavior with the driving data.
