Introduction:

The autonomous driving software applications are increasingly in demand. Robot taxis, autonomous buses, last mile transportation, delivery robots, and many more domain specific applications share a common core software stack. Developing or even adapting existing autonomous software to a certain domain is a huge task even if the change is very simple. One small change can break the system or even change the system's expected behavior. Extensive testing is essential to guarantee that the system works as expected. Evaluating a software stack as complex as autonomous driving systems is challenging. Different modules require different ways of evaluation. The danger of testing safety critical situations. Time and resources needed for evaluating every change in the system.

The goal of this workshop is to try to cover the problem of autonomous driving software stack assessment, especially the use of scenario based evaluation methods.
