Techniques for evaluating and controlling vehicles based on the reliability of their software components are described herein. In some cases, a method may include receiving an exposure duration associated with a first scenario and a first operational domain; determining, based at least in part on the exposure duration and a failure rate associated with a first software component of a vehicle, a first fault rate for the first software component; determining a first evaluation measure for the first software component with respect to the first scenario, the first operational domain, and a first energy level, based at least in part on: (i) the first fault rate, and (ii) a second exposure measure associated with the first scenario, first operational domain, and the first energy level; and controlling the vehicle based at least in part on the first evaluation measure.
