Abstract
Techniques for determining a metrics associated with a vehicle are disclosed. The techniques may comprise receiving a driving simulation scenario associated with a simulated vehicle. Based at least in part on the scenario and a dataset of recorded driving associated with operation of a test vehicle, a plurality of driving events present in the dataset may be determined. Based at least in part on the plurality of driving events, a first metric associated with a likelihood of occurrence of the driving simulation scenario may be determined. A simulation may be instantiated based at least in part on the driving simulation scenario. Based at least in part on the simulation, a safety metric indicative of the safe performance of the simulated vehicle in the simulation may be determined. An aggregate safety metric may be determined based at least in part on the safety metric and the first metric.
