    Abstract: The disclosure relates to testing software for operating an autonomous vehicle. In one instance, a simulation may be run using log data collected by a vehicle operating in an autonomous driving mode. The simulation may be run using the software to control a simulated vehicle and by modifying a characteristic of an agent identified in the log data. During the running of the simulation, that a first type of interaction between the first simulated vehicle and the modified agent will occur may be determined. In response to determining that the particular type of interaction will occur, the modified agent may be replaced by a interactive agent that simulates a road user corresponding to the modified agent that is capable of responding to actions performed by simulated vehicles. That the particular type of interaction between the simulated vehicle and the interactive agent has occurred in the simulation may be determined.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to improving realism in simulations for testing software for operating a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. In one instance, an initial observation of a road user object may be identified in a log data segment captured by a perception system of a vehicle. The perception system having one or more sensors. The initial observation includes a point in time and an initial location of the road user object. A distance traveled by the road user object from a start of the log data segment to the point in time may be determined. A starting location for the road user object may be determined using the distance traveled. A trajectory for the road user object may be determined between the starting location and the initial location of the road user object. The trajectory may be appended to the log data segment.
