Abstract
A vehicle may include a primary system for generating data to control the vehicle and a secondary system that validates the data and/or other data to avoid collisions. For example, the primary system may localize the vehicle, detect an object around the vehicle, predict an object trajectory, and generate a trajectory for the vehicle. The secondary system may localize the vehicle, detect an object around the vehicle, predict an object trajectory, and determine a likelihood of a collision of the vehicle with the object. A simulation system may generate simulation scenarios that test aspects of the primary system and the secondary system. Simulation scenarios may include simulated vehicle control data that causes the primary system to generate a driving trajectory and simulated object data that causes the secondary system to determine a collision.
