UCI Automated Scenario-Generation Approaches for Autoware Centers of Excellence's Proposed Test Harness

[jgarci40]

Here are some of the published automated scenario-generation approaches we've worked on at UCI recently and are aiming to include in a test harness / community research infrastructure for the Autoware Centers of Excellence we are working on:
