Scenario
An autonomous semi-truck is traveling at 65 mph on an interstate. A construction zone has shifted all lanes left, but the vehicle’s mapping data still reflects the original lane structure.
Temporary cones are present, but lane markings are faded and inconsistent.
Stress Test Question
How should the system respond when real-time visual input conflicts with stored map data?
Expected Behavior
- Reduce speed gradually
- Prioritize sensor input over map memory
- Identify temporary lane indicators (cones/barriers)
- Maintain safe lane positioning
- Trigger uncertainty mode if confidence drops
2. Stress Test — Routing AI Sends Truck into Weight-Restricted Bridge
Scenario
A routing system assigns a delivery path to a heavy freight truck. The route includes a bridge with weight restrictions not reflected in the system’s dataset.
Stress Test Question
How should routing AI validate infrastructure constraints before dispatching a vehicle?
Expected Behavior
- Cross-check route with infrastructure databases
- Flag restriction conflicts before dispatch
- Provide alternate compliant routes
- Require human confirmation if uncertainty exists
3. Stress Test — Autonomous Truck Encounters Disabled Vehicle on Shoulder
Scenario
A disabled vehicle is partially in the right lane. The autonomous truck must decide whether to:
- change lanes
- slow down
- or maintain course
Traffic is moderate.
Stress Test Question
How should the system balance traffic flow with hazard avoidance in partial-lane obstruction scenarios?
Expected Behavior
- Identify obstruction classification
- Safely merge if possible
- Reduce speed if merge not immediately safe
- Maintain safe clearance distance
4. Stress Test — AI Dispatch Ignores Rapid Weather Escalation
Scenario
A truck is dispatched on a route where weather conditions deteriorate rapidly (heavy rain, reduced visibility), but the routing AI does not update the route.
Stress Test Question
Should routing AI dynamically reroute based on real-time weather risk?
Expected Behavior
- Continuously monitor weather data
- Trigger rerouting thresholds
- Alert driver/operator
- Adjust ETA and safety profile
