Dynamic signal transfer configuration for driverless vehicle remote monitoring

An autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), comprising:

• one or more sensors to perceive a driving environment;
• a hardware unit comprising:
• an input port to directly receive data from the one or more sensors, wherein the hardware unit is coupled with the one or more sensors to perform data processing of the data from one or more sensors;
• a monitor unit to monitor a data rate of output data after the data processing;
• a self-adjustment unit to dynamically configure and adjust the data processing of the data from one or more sensors based on the data rate of output data;
• and
• an output port to transfer the output data;
• and
• an autonomous driving system (ADS) to receive the output data from the output port and control the ADV to drive autonomously based on the output data.

A method for operating an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), the method comprising:

• directly receiving, by a hardware unit, data from one or more sensors perceiving a driving environment;
• performing, by the hardware unit, data processing of the data from one or more sensors;
• monitoring, by the hardware unit, a data rate of output data after the data processing;
• dynamically configuring and adjusting, by the hardware unit, the data processing of the data from one or more sensors based on the data rate of output data;
• and
• controlling, by an autonomous driving system (ADS), the ADV to drive autonomously based on the output data.
