Abstract

Evaluating a simulation of an autonomous vehicle may be performed by using one or more processors to receive log data collected for a given area, generate environment data for the given area using the log data, run the set of simulations using an autonomous vehicle software, extract one or more metrics from the set of simulations, and evaluate the set of simulations using the one or more metrics. The set of simulations includes one or more of a selection simulation comprising a selection of a location related to the particular maneuver in the given area, a decision process simulation comprising a decision process playthrough for the particular maneuver in the given area, a maneuver simulation comprising a maneuver playthrough of the particular maneuver in the given area, and a replay simulation comprising a replay of the particular maneuver in a run from the log data.
