Abstract
Techniques for analyzing a parameter space are discussed. Techniques may include receiving policy data for evaluating a vehicle controller. The techniques may further include determining, using a Bayesian optimization and based at least in part on the vehicle controller, parameter sets associated with adverse events. The adverse events may be associated with a violation of the policy data. The techniques may associate, based on exposure data, parameter bounds of the adverse events and probabilities of the adverse events in a driving environment. A safety metric may be determined based on the Bayesian optimization. The techniques may also include weighting an impact of an adverse event based on the safety metric.
