Abstract
Techniques are discussed herein for generating and evaluating driving simulations based on synthetic scenarios. Simulated objects may be controlled based on parameters determining the attributes and behaviors of the objects, and scenarios may be synthetically modified by changing the parameters for a simulated object. For a driving scenario with a synthetic simulated object, a simulation system may analyze driving log data to determine a probability or prevalence associated with the driving scenario. In various examples, the simulation system may determine marginal density estimates for individual attributes of the simulated object, as well as a cumulative distribution function modeling the dependence between the attributes. The joint probability distribution determined for the synthetic simulated object can be used for evaluating the efficacy of the simulation and the performance of the simulated vehicle controllers.
