Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method of testing an on-vehicle transportation as a service (TaaS) component of an autonomous vehicle (AV) system, comprising:
obtaining, by the AV system, a TaaS message of an external service cloud, wherein the TaaS message is transmitted to the AV system in response to an initiating message;
obtaining, by the AV system, a simulated message programmed to mirror the TaaS message of the external service cloud;
determining, by the AV system, based on the simulated message and the TaaS message, a confidence threshold associated with a TaaS component of the AV system, wherein the confidence threshold indicates one or more communication channels of the AV system are working properly;
isolating, by the AV system, based on the confidence threshold associated with the TaaS component, a problem with the TaaS component; and
updating the TaaS component of the AV system based on the problem in the TaaS component.
