Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure generally relates to autonomous vehicle (AV) training, more specifically, to AV training in a collaborative synthetic environment (e.g., a metaverse). In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a process for collecting road data representing a real-world environment encountered by an autonomous vehicle and generating, using the road data, a synthetic environment representative of the real-world environment. In some aspects, the process can further include steps for establishing a connection between the synthetic environment and a remote device, wherein the remote device, and receiving a set of instructions from a user for interacting with the synthetic (virtual) environment. In some aspects, the process can further include steps for modifying the synthetic environment based on instructions received from the user.
