Abstract: The technology relates to generating simulations in order to evaluate software used to control vehicles in an autonomous driving mode. In one example, an initial situation involving a certain kind of interaction between a vehicle operating in the autonomous driving mode and an object may be identified. A search of log data may be conducted in order to identify one or more similar situations based on characteristics of the initial situation. A new simulation may be generated using the identified one or more similar situations by inserting the object into the one or more similar situations. The new simulation may be run in order to evaluate the software.
