Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 5:
6. A method comprising:
receiving sensor data associated with a first driving environment of a vehicle;
determining, based at least in part on the sensor data, a first scenario representation of the first driving environment;
inputting the first scenario representation to a prediction system including a neural network trained to output a predicted future scenario representation;
determining, based on an output of the prediction system, a first scenario vector associated with the predicted future scenario representation;
determining, based at least in part on a search in a multi-dimensional space of scenario vectors, a second scenario vector associated with the first scenario vector;
determining, based at least in part on the second scenario vector, a second scenario representation of a second driving environment, wherein the second driving environment is different from the first driving environment; and
executing a driving simulation based on the second scenario representation to determine a response of an autonomous vehicle controller.
