Abstract
Techniques for determining a safety metric associated with a vehicle controller are discussed herein. The safety metric may be reflective of one or more severity scores associated with a collision simulated by simulating performance of the vehicle controller. The techniques may include determining a simulation scenario, simulating the scenario by simulating a component of an autonomous vehicle, and determining simulation data describing a collision occurring between the simulated autonomous vehicle and an object in the scenario. The simulation data is used to determine a severity score for the collision that may be used to refine the component of the autonomous vehicle system and/or validate the component for safe operation.
