Abstract

The disclosure relate to determining a realism metric for testing software for operating a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. For instance, a plurality of versions of a simulation may be run using log data collected by a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode. The plurality of versions may be run using the software to control a simulated vehicle, and each of the plurality of versions may have a set of timing requirements different from the set of timing requirements of other of the plurality of versions. Results of the plurality of versions may be compared to the log data. A realism metric defining timing requirements for one or more future simulations may be generated based on the comparison.
