1. A computer system for monitoring an autonomous vehicle having an autonomous system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory program memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computer system to:
receive collision data associated with a vehicle collision involving the autonomous vehicle, the collision data including information indicating conditions under which the vehicle collision occurred and information indicating the autonomous system of the autonomous vehicle;
process the collision data using a trained machine learning program to determine one or more preferred control decisions the autonomous system should have made to control the autonomous vehicle immediately before or during the vehicle collision;
receive control decision data indicating one or more actual control decisions the autonomous system made to control the autonomous vehicle immediately before or during the vehicle collision;
determine a degree of similarity between the one or more preferred control decisions and the one or more actual control decisions; and
determine one or more of a risk level or a risk profile of the autonomous system based upon the determined degree of similarity.
