Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating purposeful stress testing of autonomous vehicle response time with simulation. In some aspects, an embodiment includes receiving a request to launch a simulation scenario on an autonomous vehicle (AV) that is to operate on a real-world test course; initiating a simulation derived from the simulation scenario using a simulation driver that is executing on the AV; engaging operation of the AV on the real-world test course; coordinating a simulated AV position in the simulation with a physical AV position of the AV on the real-world test course; combining virtual entities from the simulation with physical entities on the real-world test course into a list of tracked objects for the AV; and causing the AV to respond to the list of tracked objects including the virtual entities and the physical entities during the operation of the AV on the real-world test course.
