Abstract: Techniques for top-down scene discrimination are discussed. A system receives scene data associated with an environment proximate a vehicle. The scene data is input to a convolutional neural network (CNN) discriminator trained using a generator and a classification of the output of the CNN discriminator. The CNN discriminator generates an indication of whether the scene data is a generated scene or a captured scene. If the scene data is data generated scene, the system generates a caution notification indicating that a current environmental situation is different from any previous situations. Additionally, the caution notification is communicated to at least one of a vehicle system or a remote vehicle monitoring system.

Abstract: Techniques for determining a safety margin by which to limit trajectory(ies) generated by a vehicle control system such that the vehicle will not exceed the safety margin more than a target occurrence rate. The techniques may include determining a first spectrum associated with trajectory data generated by one or more vehicles, generating a model of a vehicle, and determining a spectrum of an error signal based at least in part on the model and the first spectrum. Determining the safety margin may be based at least in part on the spectrum of the error signal and a target occurrence rate. Operation characteristics of components of the vehicle (e.g., controller, steering actuator) may be tuned based at least in part on the model, first spectrum, and/or second spectrum. The techniques enable determining safety margins for untested vehicles and/or for different operating states of a vehicle.
