  • Method and apparatus for autonomous system performance and grading
    Patent number: 10677686
    Abstract: The present application generally relates to methods and apparatus for evaluating and assigning a performance metric to a driver response to a driving scenario. More specifically, the application teaches a method and apparatus for breaking a scenario into features, assigning each feature a grade and generating an overall grade in response to a weighted combination of the grades.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 9, 2020
    Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC
    Inventors: Matthew E. Phillips, Nandan Thor, Dylan T. Bergstedt, Jaehoon Choe, Michael J. Daily
  • Method and apparatus for scenario generation and parametric sweeps for the development and evaluation of autonomous driving systems
    Patent number: 10345811
    Abstract: The present application generally relates to methods and apparatus for evaluating driving performance under a plurality of driving scenarios and conditions. More specifically, the application teaches a method and apparatus for testing a driving scenario repetitively while altering a parametric variation, such as fog level, in order to evaluate driving system performance under changing conditions.

  • Method And Apparatus For Autonomous System Performance And Benchmarking
    Publication number: 20190146493
    Abstract: The present application generally relates to methods and apparatus for evaluating and assigning a complexity metric to a driving scenario. More specifically, the application teaches a method and apparatus for breaking a scenario into subtasks, assigning each subtask a complexity value and generating an overall complexity metric in response to a weighted combination of the subtask complexities as well as human-perceived task complexity.
