Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosed technology provides solutions for generating synthetic driving scenes and in particular, for generating driving scenes with reduced safety metrics for use in testing and/or training various systems of an autonomous vehicle (AV). A method of the disclosed technology can include steps for receiving, at an encoding model, driving data representative of a first driving scene, wherein the encoding model is configured to generate a first set of feature vectors based on the driving data, processing the first set of feature vectors to generate a second set of feature vectors, and processing the second set of feature vectors to generate a second driving scene. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
