Technologies for verifying control system operation

A vehicle-embedded computer system (VECS) disposed in a vehicle, the VECS comprising:

• memory circuitry arranged to store one or more control system configurations;
• processor circuitry coupled with the memory circuitry, wherein the processor circuitry is arranged to:
• generate a vehicle fingerprint based on control system data collected from one or more control systems embedded in the vehicle during a testing cycle, wherein the vehicle fingerprint is based on data obtained from individual components embedded in the vehicle or from a plurality of sensors embedded in the vehicle, in combination with a first version of a control system configuration (CSC);
• and
• generate performance results for comparison against the vehicle fingerprint, wherein the performance results are generated based on control system data collected from the one or more control systems during an operating cycle, wherein the performance results are based on data obtained from the individual components or from the plurality of sensors embedded in the vehicle, in combination with a second different version of the CSC;
• and
• communication circuitry communicatively coupled with the processor circuitry, wherein the communication circuitry is arranged to:
• transmit a fingerprint message including the vehicle fingerprint to a vehicle performance verification system (VPVS), wherein the VPVS is remote from the vehicle, and
• transmit a performance results message including the performance results to the VPVS.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) comprising instructions, wherein execution of the instructions by at least one processor of a vehicle performance verification system (VPVS) is to cause the VPVS to:

• receive, from a vehicle-embedded computer device (VECD), a performance results message including performance results of a vehicle in which the VECD is embedded, the performance results for comparison against a vehicle fingerprint and being based on control system data collected from one or more control systems embedded in the vehicle, the vehicle fingerprint being based on a combination of control system data collected during a test procedure, wherein the vehicle fingerprint is based on data obtained from individual components embedded in the vehicle or from a plurality of sensors embedded in the vehicle, in combination with a first version of a control system configuration (CSC);
• wherein the performance results are based on data obtained from the individual components or from the plurality of sensors embedded in the vehicle, in combination with a second different version of the CSC;
• compare data items of the performance results with data items of the vehicle fingerprint of the vehicle;
• generate a flag when at least one data item of the performance results is different than a corresponding data item of the vehicle fingerprint;
• and
• control transmission of a flag message to another computer device, the flag message including the flag.
