Abstract

Techniques for correlating perception system errors with unwanted vehicle behavior. The techniques may include receiving log data associated with a vehicle traversing an environment. Based at least in part on the log data, an error associated with an output received from a perception component of the vehicle may be identified. The output of the perception component may be associated with a detection of an object in the environment. The techniques may also include determining that the error contributed to an unwanted behavior of the vehicle. In some examples, a simulation of a planner component of the vehicle may be ran using ground truth data to determine that the error contributed to the unwanted behavior. Based at least in part on the error contributing to the unwanted behavior, a parameter of the perception component may be updated to minimize the error and the unwanted behavior.
