Abstract
Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating and refining simulation scenarios. For example, the method includes generating multiple base scenarios, each including one or more constant and one or more variable parameters. For each of the base scenarios, the method includes generating scenario variations, each of which is associated with a unique combination of values assigned to its base scenario's parameters. The method further includes determining a system boundary in a parameter space defined by the variable parameters, wherein the system boundary divides the parameter space into a region including successful scenario variations and a region including unsuccessful scenario variations, and generating additional scenario variations within a threshold distance of the system boundary. The method further includes simulating operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) using one or more generated scenario variations.
