Abstract
This application relates to techniques for determining whether to engage an autonomous controller of a vehicle based on previously recorded data. A computing system may receive, from a vehicle computing system, data representative of a vehicle being operated in an environment, such as by an autonomous controller. The computing system may generate a simulation associated with the vehicle operation and configured to test an updated autonomous controller. The computing system may determine one or more first time periods associated with the vehicle operations that satisfy one or more conditions associated with engaging an autonomous controller and one or more second time periods associated with the vehicle operations that fail to satisfy the one or more conditions. The computing system may enable an engagement of the autonomous controller during the one or more first time periods and disable the engagement during the one or more second time periods.
