Abstract :
For decades, scientists have dreamed of building autonomous cars that can drive without a human driver. Progress in this kind of research recently received an increasing attention in car industries. There are many autonomous car models recently developed. However, they are still infancy since they still lack efficiency and reliability. To obtain efficient and reliable systems, the validation process plays an important role. Nowadays, the validation is strongly related to the number of kilometers of drive. Thus, simulation techniques are used before going into real world driving. We focused our work on developing a methodology to smothly move from simulation into real world car driving. We defined a versatile architecture that simplifies the evaluation of different types of algorithms. Several evaluation systems are shown and discussed.
