Abstract
A method includes generating, while a vehicle is operating in an autonomous-driving mode, a planned trajectory associated with a computing system of the vehicle based on first sensor data capturing an environment of the vehicle. The method further includes, while the vehicle is operating according to the planned trajectory, receiving a disengagement instruction associated that causes the vehicle to disengage from operating in the autonomous-driving mode and switch to operating in a disengagement mode. Subsequent to the vehicle operating in the disengagement mode, the method further includes capturing second sensor data and generating a simulation of the environment. The simulation is based on sensor data associated with the environment and the planned trajectory. Additionally, subsequent to the vehicle operating in the disengagement mode, the method concludes with evaluating a performance of an autonomy system based on the simulation, and providing feedback based on the evaluation.
