Evaluating driving control systems for elegant driving
First Claim
1. A method comprising, by a computing system:
- determining a first plurality of driving metrics of at least one vehicle navigating a road segment using a first driving control system, wherein the first plurality of driving metrics include one or more measurements associated with movement of the at least one vehicle while navigating the road segment, and wherein the first driving control system controls the movement of the at least one vehicle while navigating the road segment;
determining, based on the first plurality of driving metrics, a first driving characteristic for the first driving control system;
comparing the first driving characteristic of the first driving control system to a second driving characteristic of a plurality of manually controlled vehicles represented by a second plurality of driving metrics collected while each of the plurality of manually controlled vehicles are navigating the road segment;
computing a first score indicating an elegance of the first driving control system used in navigating the road segment based on the comparison of the first driving characteristic to the second driving characteristic;
determining a second score indicating an elegance of at least one vehicle navigating the road segment using a second driving control system;
evaluating the first driving control system relative to the second driving control system based on a comparison of the first score and the second score; and
selecting, based on the evaluation, the second driving control system for a vehicle, wherein the selected second driving control system is provided to the vehicle and wherein the second driving control system controls the movement of the vehicle.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a first set of driving metrics of a vehicle navigating a segment using a driving control system; computing, based on the first set of driving metrics, a driving characteristic for the vehicle. The driving characteristic of the vehicle being represented by the first set of driving metrics. The method also includes comparing the driving characteristic of the vehicle to a driving characteristic of a number of manually controlled vehicles represented by a second set of driving metrics collected while navigating the segment; and computing a score indicating an elegance of the driving control system in navigating the segment based on the comparison of the driving characteristic of the vehicle to the driving characteristic of the number of manually controlled vehicles.
