A method is disclosed for improving the permissiveness of a vehicle designed to operate within an operational design domain (“ODD”) where the vehicle has an autonomous vehicle control system capable of collecting sensor data. The method, which can be incorporated into a system or into instructions placed on storage media, includes partitioning the ODD into subsets (“micro-ODDs”) that relate to different operational situations and creating safety envelopes for those subsets. The safety envelopes are used to keep the vehicle operating safely and can be optimized to improve permissiveness of the vehicular operation.
