A method and an apparatus pertaining to generating training data. The method may include executing a simulation process. The simulation process may include traversing one or more virtual sensors (191 193) over a virtual driving environment defining a plurality of lane markings (such as 110, 150, 120, 130, 150) or virtual objects (such as 160, 181, 183) that can be sensed by the one or more virtual sensors. During the traversing, each of the one or more virtual sensors may be moved with respect to the virtual driving environment as dictated by a vehicle-dynamic model modeling motion of a vehicle driving on a virtual road surface of the virtual driving environment while carrying the one or more virtual sensors. Virtual sensor data characterizing the virtual driving environment may be recorded. The virtual sensor data may correspond to what an actual sensor would produce in a real-world environment that is similar or substantially matching the virtual driving environment. The advantage of this is that the cost and time required to gather such data from real sensors during actual driving is avoided.
