A Survey on Automated Driving System Testing: Landscapes and Trends

Understand

Automated Driving Systems (ADS) have made great achievements in recent years thanks to the efforts from both academia and industry.

• A typical ADS is composed of multiple modules, including sensing, perception, planning, and control, which brings together the latest advances in different domains.
• Despite these achievements, safety assurance of ADS is of great significance, since unsafe behavior of ADS can bring catastrophic consequences.
• Testing has been recognized as an important system validation approach that aims to expose unsafe system behavior; however, in the context of ADS, it is extremely challenging to devise effective testing techniques, due to the high complexity and multidisciplinarity of the systems.
