1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
determining a deviation of an output of a perception component of a vehicle;
determining a deviation of a behavior of a planner component of the vehicle;
determining that an end-to-end metric has been impacted, wherein the end-to-end metric is based at least in part on a combination of the deviation of the behavior of the planner component and the deviation of the output of the perception component;
determining a measure of impact associated with the end-to-end metric;
based at least in part on the measure of impact associated with the end-to-end metric, updating a parameter of the perception component as an altered perception component to reduce an error;
transmitting, to the vehicle, the altered perception component, wherein the vehicle is controlled based at least in part on the altered perception component.
