NVIDIA DRIVE Labs Ep.27: Generating Potential Accident Scenarios for Autonomous Vehicles Using AI

Testing autonomous vehicles (AVs) in potential near-accident scenarios is critical for evaluating safety, but is difficult and unsafe to do in the real world. In this episode of DRIVE Labs, we discuss a new method from NVIDIA researchers called STRIVE (Stress-Test Drive), which automatically generates potential accident scenarios in simulation for AVs. The key to STRIVE is a generative AI model of traffic trajectories that encourages scenarios to be realistic even when they contain a potential accident. STRIVE produces diverse …
