摘要： This application relates to techniques for determining whether to engage an autonomous controller of a vehicle based on previously recorded data. A computing system may receive, from a vehicle computing system, data representative of a vehicle being operated in an environment, such as by an autonomous controller. The computing system may generate a simulation associated with the vehicle operation and configured to test an updated autonomous controller. The computing system may determine one or more first time periods associated with the vehicle operations that satisfy one or more conditions associated with engaging an autonomous controller and one or more second time periods associated with the vehicle operations that fail to satisfy the one or more conditions. The computing system may enable an engagement of the autonomous controller during the one or more first time periods and disable the engagement during the one or more second time periods.

摘要： This application relates to techniques for dynamically determining whether to engage an autonomous controller of a vehicle. A computing system may receive a request to engage the autonomous controller (e.g., autonomous mode) of the vehicle. In some examples, the request may be received from a simulation computing system configured to test an updated autonomous controller in a simulation. Based on a determination that conditions associated with engaging autonomy are satisfied, the computing system engages the autonomous controller. Based on a determination that conditions associated with engaging autonomy are not satisfied, the computing system disables the engagement of the autonomous controller such that the vehicle is controlled according to an initial operational mode (e.g., manual mode, semi-autonomous mode, previous version of the autonomous controller, etc.).
