Steering verification captures
Rendered camera frames along two driving routes, in four weather conditions each. These are the input to the formal certificates in formal-verification--steering--code, and they are published because they are what makes those certificates checkable without a simulator.
The paper is Testing Between the Test Cases: Proving End-to-End Steering in Conditions You Never Drove (arXiv:2609.10951).
| route | conditions | poses | frames | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
captures/arterial/ |
one 2,289 m lap, Town06 | clear, fog, night, low sun | 1,060 | 168×56 |
captures/highway/ |
2,988 m both directions, Town04 | clear, fog, night, low sun | 1,492 each | 84×28 |
Each .npz holds one condition along one route with the pose track it was captured at.
teachers/ holds the four networks the shipped students were distilled from. They are
needed only to re-distil a student without re-running data aggregation, so they live here
rather than in every clone of the code: python3 scripts/fetch_captures.py --teachers.
645 MB in total.
Using it
From a clone of the code repository, one command puts every file where the certifier looks and checks each against a recorded digest:
python3 scripts/fetch_captures.py
STUDY_MAP=Town06 python3 scripts/verify/certify_town06.py --out /tmp/cert.json
Check the digests. A capture is the certifier's entire input, so a bound computed from
the wrong frames is a statement about a different experiment, and it still prints a
verdict and a margin and looks finished. SHA256SUMS lists all fifteen.
What reproduces
Every verdict. The bounds reproduce to about 4 parts in 1,000, not exactly: branch-and- bound makes different splitting choices when tiny floating-point differences reorder them, and that grows with network size. Every verdict has at least 309× more headroom than that, so the drift cannot change a conclusion, but a changed verdict means something real is different.
