A signal computation function is determined for each event in the sequence, which quantifies proximity to the respective event. Driving data is received for a plurality of time steps. Values of each signal computation function are determined, evaluated for the driving data at each of the plurality of time steps. It is determined whether the driving scenario has occurred in the driving data based on the values of the signal computation function. A first portion of the driving data is either modified, discarded, or stored in memory based on the determination whether the driving scenario has occurred.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating adversarial driving scenarios for autonomous vehicles. An artificial intelligence model can compute an adversarial loss function by minimizing the distance between predicted adversarial perturbed trajectories and corresponding generated neighbor future trajectories from input data. A traffic violation loss function can be computed based on observed adversarial agents adhering to driving rules from the input data. A comfort loss function can be computed based on the predicted driving characteristics of adversarial vehicles relevant to comfort of hypothetical passengers from the input data. A planner module can be trained for autonomous vehicles based on a combined loss function of the adversarial loss function, the traffic violation loss function and the comfort loss function to generate adversarial driving scenarios. An autonomous vehicle can be controlled based on trajectories generated in the adversarial driving scenarios.
