System and method for monitoring test data for autonomous operation of self-driving vehicles

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon for autonomous vehicle test data distribution and analysis, the program code being executed by a processor and comprising:

• program code to upload driving session data from a computer of a drive site to a network attached storage of the drive site;
• program code to upload the driving session data from the network attached storage of the drive site to a cloud-based storage location;
• program code to distribute the driving session data from the cloud-based storage location and a work unit to at least one research site separate from the drive site;
• and
• program code to process, by the at least one research site, the driving session data according to an analysis/processing task associated with the work unit.

A system for autonomous vehicle test data distribution and analysis, the system comprising:

• a drive site comprising a network attached storage and a computer configured to upload driving session data from the computer of the drive site to the network attached storage in response to insertion of a session data memory module of a test vehicle, the network attached storage configured to upload the driving session data from the network attached storage of the drive site to a cloud-based storage location;
• the cloud-based storage location configured to distribute the driving session data and a work unit to a plurality of research sites separate from the drive site;
• and
• at least two of the plurality of researches sites configured to process the driving session data according to an analysis/processing task associated with the work unit received by the two of the plurality of research sites, respectively.
