Simulated terrible drivers cut the time and cost of AV testing by a factor of one thousand

It could kick off a paradigm shift that enables manufacturers to more quickly verify whether their autonomous vehicle technology can save lives and reduce crashes. In a simulated environment, vehicles trained by artificial intelligence perform perilous maneuvers, forcing the AV to make decisions that confront drivers only rarely on the road but are needed to better train the vehicles.
To repeatedly encounter those kinds of situations for data collection, real world test vehicles need to drive for hundreds of millions to hundreds of billions of miles.
