Adaptive Failure Search Using Critical States from Domain Experts

Peter Du,Katherine Driggs-Campbell,Peter Du,Katherine Driggs-Campbell

Uncovering potential failure cases is a crucial step in the validation of safety critical systems such as autonomous vehicles. Failure search may be done through logging substantial vehicle miles in either simulation or real world testing. Due to the sparsity of failure events, naive random search approaches require significant amounts of vehicle operation hours to find potential system weaknesses...
