Researchers have developed new metrics to evaluate the criticality of 3D perception errors in autonomous driving systems. These metrics, False Speed Reduction (FSR) and Maximum Deceleration Rate (MDR), quantify the impact of false positives and false negatives, respectively. Additionally, Lateral Evasion Acceleration (LEA) measures the steering effort needed to avoid predicted collisions. Evaluations on the nuScenes and Argoverse 2 datasets indicate that these metrics can effectively identify and rank perception failures, though they are not a substitute for closed-loop safety validation.
