Abstract

A self-driving vehicle test method, apparatus, and system are provided, and relate to the field of self-driving technologies. The system includes a software control module, a motion control module, and a plurality of motion platforms. The software control module may obtain information about a first test scenario, and send the information about the first test scenario to the motion control module. After receiving the information about the first test scenario, the motion control module may determine a test motion platform and a target motion platform from the plurality of motion platforms based on the information about the first test scenario, and send parameter information of each determined motion platform to the motion platform, so that the motion platform performs a corresponding operation based on the parameter information. In this way, a self-driving vehicle can be tested without participation of test personnel, thereby improving test efficiency and reducing labor costs.
