APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SIMULATION OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

A method for simulation of an autonomous vehicle includes preparing a setting of a parameter and an initial value configured to determine a driving condition of the autonomous vehicle and a driving condition of an event to be performed by a surrounding vehicle to implement a simulation environment of the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes performing a normal driving in which the surrounding vehicle travels at a speed and a position that match a predetermined condition set in the parameter to perform the event given, and performing an event driving in which the surrounding vehicle performs the event given based on a setting value of the parameter.
