Abstract
Examples disclosed herein may involve (i) obtaining data for one or more data variables related to autonomous operation of a vehicle in a test environment being facilitated by the vehicle's autonomy system, (ii) based on the obtained data, evaluating one or more predefined fault rules, each of which comprises (a) one or more predefined criteria related to the one or more data variables and (b) a predefined fault that is to be injected into the autonomy system when the one or more predefined criteria are determined to be satisfied, (iii) based on the evaluation, injecting a predefined fault into the autonomy system, and (iv) capturing data indicative of a response by a response mechanism of the vehicle to the vehicle autonomously operating in accordance with the injected fault.
