Method and System for Checking an Automated Driving Function by Reinforcement Learning

A method for checking an automated driving function by reinforcement learning includes providing at least one specification of an automated driving function; generating a scenario, the scenario being specified by a first set of parameters; and determining a reward function such that the reward is greater in the event in which the scenario fails to meet the at least one specification in a simulation, than in the event in which the scenario meets the at least one specification in the simulation.
