Short Answer

What should you do if perfecting component A's output does not fix the jarring steering scenario?

Question: In the self-driving car error attribution example, what does it mean, and what should you do next, if manually perfecting component A's (detect cars) output does not improve the path planning output?

Sample answer: It means component A is not the source of the error in this scenario, since even with a perfect A output the path is still jarring. The engineer should then move on to Step 2 of the procedure and manually perfect component B's (detect pedestrians) output to test whether B is responsible.

Key points:

  • No improvement rules out component A as the cause
  • The procedure moves on to testing component B next
  • This keeps the analysis systematic across pipeline components

Rubric: Full credit states that A is ruled out as the cause and that the next step is to test component B; partial credit for only stating one of these.
