Evaluating Physical Consistency and Plausibility in Generative Scenario Models for Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces a layered evaluation protocol for generative scenario models used in autonomous driving, focusing on physical consistency and plausibility. It examines internal representations through kinematic alignment, statistical baseline comparison, latent controllability, and activation analysis, and then tests outputs against vehicle dynamics constraints such as lateral jerk thresholds. The protocol is applied to a VAE-based scenario generator and other generative models, revealing deeper insights than standard output-level metrics.
