Researchers from TUM and fortiss conducted a multi-modality evaluation of autonomous driving systems (ADS) to quantify the reality gap across different testing conditions. Their study empirically demonstrated that Mixed-Reality (MR) testing significantly improved behavioral alignment with real-world scenarios, reducing trajectory errors by over 90% and exposing failures that traditional simulation (SiL) missed.
Key insights
- Mixed-Reality (MR) testing consistently proved most effective in mitigating the reality gap, achieving superior behavioral replication by addressing both perception and actuation discrepancies.
- Pure Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) testing often overestimates ADS robustness, failing to expose critical real-world failures due to idealized actuation and perception models.
- A staged testing strategy, leveraging SiL for broad coverage, ViL for actuation refinement, and MR for high-fidelity perception, is crucial for robust and transferable ADS validation.
