Develop a standardized benchmarking platform for evaluating the performance and safety of autonomous vehicles, allowing companies to easily compare and validate their autonomous vehicle systems.

The development of autonomous vehicles is hindered by the lack of standardized benchmarks for evaluating their performance and safety. The current system is broken as it is difficult to compare the performance of different autonomous vehicles, limiting innovation and adoption. The financial cost of doing nothing is high, as companies are forced to spend large amounts on testing and validation or forgo autonomous vehicle development altogether.
