Abstract
Among other things, techniques are described for notifying and explaining the action performed by an autonomous vehicle, including but not limited to: receiving a planned path of a vehicle, a state of the vehicle and environment data of an environment in which the vehicle is operating, receiving a deviation signal, determining whether the deviation signal was reported by a first system or a second system of the vehicle, in response selecting a first set of simulators or a second set of simulators for simulating the vehicle in the environment, simulating the vehicle in the environment using the selected first or second set of simulators, based on results of the simulating, generating a message and presenting the message to at least one occupant of the vehicle.
