Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for using comfort scales to assess the performance of autonomous vehicles. One of the methods includes receiving data representing a traffic encounter between a vehicle and a pedestrian. A plurality of comfort scale ratings of the encounter assigned by a rater belonging to a first rater pool are received. An input element is generated for a rating transformation model configured to predict how comfort scale ratings assigned by a particular rater pool would have been assigned by a representative rater belonging to a reference rater pool. An inference pass is performed over the rating transformation model using the input element to obtain a plurality of transformed comfort scale ratings for the reference rater pool.
