Abstract

A system is described that can include a first database, a simulator, and a second database. The first database can store data indicating operation of at least one module within a computing device of an autonomous vehicle. The simulator can receive the stored data from the first database. The simulator can generate, based on the received data, a simulation of the operation of the at least one module. The simulator can identify at least one portion of the simulation that indicates a deviation between the collected data and the simulated operation of the autonomous vehicle. The simulator can analyze the at least one portion of the simulation to generate metrics for the at least one portion of the simulation. The metrics can be used to avoid another deviation between the collected data and the simulated operation of the autonomous vehicle. The second database can store the metrics.
