1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processing device, performance results corresponding to simulated mileage accumulation of simulated autonomous vehicles (AVs);
determining, by the processing device from the performance results, performance metrics and corresponding confidence intervals for the performance metrics;
identifying, by the processing device, at least one of the performance metrics that does not satisfy a performance metric threshold or at least one of the corresponding confidence intervals that does not satisfy a confidence interval threshold;
determining, by the processing device, an identified domain corresponding to the at least one of the performance metrics or the at least one of the corresponding confidence intervals; and
causing, by the processing device, at least one of on-road supervised driving of one or more AVs to be initiated or one or more synthetic tests to be generated in accordance with the identified domain.
