A Causal Probabilistic Framework for Perception-Informed Closed-Loop Simulation of Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2606.07186v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulation is a cornerstone for the validation of modern automotive safety functions. However, many current frameworks utilize ideal sensing, which bypasses the functional insufficiencies of perception algorithms, leading to over-optimistic safety assessments. This paper proposes a perception-informed SIL testing methodology that bridges the gap between ground-truth simulation and real-world perception behavior. We present a framework for incorporating causal probabilistic models into standardized, scenario-based simul…
