Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining the efficacy of an autonomous vehicle driving system in exhibiting safe driving behavior during test track scenarios. Testing parameters eliciting autonomous vehicle driving system behavior may be chosen for the test track scenario. The autonomous vehicle driving system may be tested in the test track and autonomous vehicle driving system behavior may be observed in response to the presentations of testing parameters. A safe driving score may be calculated for the autonomous vehicle driving system based on measured autonomous vehicle performance and operational data generated responsive to the presentation of testing parameters in the test track. A benchmark insurance premium may be calculated for an autonomous vehicle driving system based on the calculated safe driving score.
