Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
generating a downscaling signal based on a result of comparing a complexity of an environment for an autonomous vehicle to navigate with a predetermined complexity threshold;
performing a downscaling of a neural network associated with an autonomous vehicle system based on the downscaling signal;
determining a scenario to test the downscaled neural network in a simulation;
adjusting one or more parameters of the autonomous vehicle system based on simulated outputs;
performing the simulation of the autonomous vehicle based on the adjusted one or more parameters of the autonomous vehicle system and the downscaled neural network to generate simulated performance data;
comparing the simulated performance data with a predetermined performance threshold to generate an acceptance; and
initiating or adjusting an operation of the autonomous vehicle with the downscaled neural network based on the acceptance.
