contents Evaluating the decision-making system is indispensable in developing autonomous vehicles, while realistic and challenging safety-critical test scenarios play a crucial role. Obtaining these scenarios is non-trivial, thanks to the long-tailed distribution, sparsity, and rarity in real-world data sets. To tackle this problem, in this paper, we introduce a natural adversarial scenario generation solution using naturalistic human driving priors and reinforcement learning techniques. By doing this, we can obtain large-scale test scenarios that are both diverse and realistic. Specifically, we build a simulation environment that mimics natural traffic interaction scenarios. Informed by this environment, we implement a two-stage procedure. The first stage incorporates conventional rule-based models, e.g., IDM~(Intelligent Driver Model) and MOBIL~(Minimizing Overall Braking Induced by Lane changes) model, to coarsely and discretely capture and calibrate key control parameters from the real-world dataset. Next, we leverage GAIL~(Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning) to represent driver behaviors continuously. The derived GAIL can be further used to design a PPO~(Proximal Policy Optimization)-based actor-critic network framework to fine-tune the reward function, and then optimizes our natural adversarial scenario generation solution. Extensive experiments have been conducted in the NGSIM dataset including the trajectory of 3,000 vehicles. Essential traffic parameters were measured in comparison with the baseline model, e.g., the collision rate, accelerations, steering, and the number of lane changes. Our findings demonstrate that the proposed model can generate realistic safety-critical test scenarios covering both naturalness and adversariality, which can be a cornerstone for the development of autonomous vehicles.
