Claim 0:
1. A method for operating an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
performing the following operations by a muxing tool when the autonomous vehicle is deployed within a particular geographic area in a real-world environment:
receiving perception data that is representative of at least one actual object which is perceived while the autonomous vehicle is deployed within the particular geographic area in a real-world environment;
receiving simulation data that represents a simulated object that could be perceived by the autonomous vehicle in the real-world environment and that was generated using a simulation scenario which is selected from a plurality of simulation scenarios based on at least one of the particular geographic area in which the autonomous vehicle is currently located and a current operational state of the autonomous vehicle;
generating augmented perception data by combining the simulation data with the perception data;
detecting whether the combination of the simulation data with the perception data caused the at least one simulated object to have an unnatural physical shape; and
modifying the augmented perception data based on the detecting.
