Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 13:
14. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving a request to evaluate a performance of a first controller;
causing the first controller to control a simulated vehicle in a simulation;
determining a first metric associated with controlling the simulated vehicle in accordance with the first controller;
controlling the simulated vehicle in the simulation based at least in part on data associated with an operation of a vehicle controlled by a second controller, wherein the second controller is different from the first controller;
determining a second metric associated with controlling the simulated vehicle in accordance with the second controller, wherein the second controller is different from the first controller;
determining a difference between the first metric and the second metric;
determining a validity of the first controller, wherein determining the validity of the first controller comprises at least one of:
based at least in part on determining that the difference is equal to or less than a threshold value, validating the first controller; or
based at least in part on determining that the difference exceeds the threshold value, outputting an indication of invalidation; and

transmitting, based at least in part on the validity, the first controller or the second controller to a vehicle computing device associated with a vehicle to control vehicle operations.
