Original Abstract Submitted

systems and techniques are provided for detecting occurrence of traffic scenes and characterizing performance of autonomous vehicles (avs) in relation to said traffic scenes. an example method includes receiving a collection of data compiled by one or more avs while navigating a real-world environment, wherein the one or more avs are configured to execute a first version of av software; identifying, based on at least one traffic scene selector and the collection of data, a plurality of traffic scene datasets each corresponding to an instance in which the one or more avs encountered a traffic scene; and determining, based on the plurality of traffic scene datasets, one or more metrics for characterizing an operation of the one or more avs in relation to the traffic scene.
