Scenario Generation as a Testing Interface
A short technical note on treating scenario generation as a controllable interface for automated driving system testing.

Scenario generation is most useful when it behaves like a testing interface rather than a visual-content generator. The project and publication record behind this site points to that pattern: CARLA Leaderboard work supplies benchmark routes and validated scenarios, OSG focuses on controllable risk levels, and the Changan delivery applies scenario-generation algorithms inside an industrial simulation framework.
- Start from the testing question: what behavior, route, map, or safety-critical condition should the system face?
- Keep the generation process constrained by naturalness and diversity, so the test remains meaningful rather than merely adversarial.
- Treat generated scenarios as part of a repeatable evaluation pipeline, not as isolated demonstrations.
