The invention relates to the automatic driving vehicle performance test technology field and especially relates to a static obstacle response performance test method of an automatic driving vehicle and a test field. In the test method, the test field comprises a road having at least two lanes and a static obstacle. A vehicle to be detected and the static obstacle are arranged in a same lane. A vehicle lane changing operability distance is arranged between the static obstacle and the vehicle to be detected. The test field is similar to an actual driving environment so that a test result can accurately reflect response performance of the vehicle to be detected to the static obstacle. A response of the vehicle to be detected is limited to be a condition that the vehicle runs towards the static obstacle and changes the lane so as to avoid the static obstacle. Evaluation of static obstacle response performance of the vehicle is standardized and the test result is authoritative and reliable. The test field provided in the invention can make the test result accurately reflect the response performance of the vehicle to be detected to the static obstacle and can be served as a standard scene.
