Abstract:
A method includes generating a first simulated environment. The first simulated environment includes a route for a simulated vehicle. The method includes determining a set of locations within the first simulated environment for a set of objects. The method includes determining a path for the simulated vehicle based on the route and set of locations. The method includes generating a set of simulated environments based on the first simulated environment and set of locations. The method includes generating a set of images based on the set of simulated environments, the path, and the set of non-deterministically generated objects. The non-deterministically generated objects include unrealistic objects and optionally include realistic objects. The method includes training vehicle guidance models using the set of images which may include abstract or unrealistic objects. The trained vehicle guidance models may be directly used on real vehicles in corresponding real world environments.
