1. A method comprising:
obtaining a driving scenario, wherein the driving scenario comprises a representation of a road segment and a driving destination of an autonomous vehicle driving in the road segment, wherein the driving scenario comprises a second vehicle in the road segment;
selecting at least two different driving models that are usable for predicting movement patterns of the second vehicle, wherein the at least two different driving models are selected from a predefined plurality of driving models, wherein the predefined plurality of driving models is known prior to said obtaining the driving scenario;
predicting at least two movement patterns of the second vehicle within the driving scenario according to the at least two different driving models, respectively;
for each one of the at least two movement patterns of the second vehicle, generating a respective movement pattern for the autonomous vehicle, thereby generating at least two movement patterns for the autonomous vehicle;
training an autonomous driving model based on the at least two movement patterns generated for the autonomous vehicle, thereby obtaining a trained autonomous driving model; and
providing the trained autonomous driving model to a second autonomous vehicle which is configured to use the trained autonomous driving model for autonomous driving.
