Sensor attack simulation system

A method and system for sensor attack simulation, wherein a processor performing operations comprising receiving a dataset representative of data received from a plurality of sensors (702) at an autonomous vehicle sensor system that measure environmental conditions related to an environment of an autonomous vehicle. The system operations perform a simulated attack on the dataset (704). The simulated attack includes at least one of modifying the dataset to imitate a cyberattack and modifying the dataset to imitate a cyber-physical attack in which the cyber-physical attack misrepresents the environmental condition related to the environment of the autonomous vehicle to be measured by the plurality of sensors. The system operations also provide a second dataset (706) based on the simulated attack on the dataset for testing planned movements of the autonomous vehicle. The system can also determine baseline safety/risk levels.
