A computer-implemented method of evaluating the performance of a full or partial autonomous vehicle (AV) stack in simulation, the method comprising: applying an optimization algorithm to a numerical performance function defined over a scenario space, wherein the numerical performance function quantifies the extent of success or failure of the AV stack as a numerical score, and the optimization algorithm searches the scenario space for a driving scenario in which the extent of failure of the AV stack is substantially maximized, wherein the optimization algorithm evaluates multiple driving scenarios in the search space over multiple iterations, by running a simulation of each driving scenario in a simulator, in order to provide perception inputs to the AV stack, and thereby generate at least one simulated agent trace and a simulated ego trace reflecting autonomous decisions taken in the AV stack in response to the simulated perception inputs, wherein later iterations of the multiple iterations are guided by the results of previous iterations of the multiple iterations, with the objective of finding the driving scenario for which the extent of failure of the AV stack is maximized.
