Systems and methods for handling an open door of a vehicle

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory processor-readable medium or media comprising one or more sets of instructions which, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, causes steps to be performed comprising:
• responsive to detecting, using input from one or more sensors of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), that the ADV is not at a standstill and while a door of the ADV is detected as being open:
• activating one or more brake systems to apply braking pressure to reduce a speed of the ADV to a first speed threshold range;
• and
• triggering a warning signal;
• and
• responsive to detecting, using input from one or more sensors, that the ADV is at a standstill and responsive to detecting a door of the ADV being opened:
• determining, using input from one or more sensors, whether a first brake system is available for use;
• responsive to determining that the first brake system is available for use, causing the first brake system to apply braking pressure;
• and
• responsive to determining that the first brake system is not available for use:
• determining, using input from one or more sensors, whether a second brake system is available for use;
• responsive to determining that the second brake system is available, causing the second brake system to apply braking pressure based one or more parameters related to the ADV;
• and
• responsive to determining that the second brake system is not available:
• determining, using input from one or more sensors, whether a third brake system is available for use;
• and
• responsive to determining that the third brake system is available:
• causing the third brake system to apply braking pressure based one or more parameters related to the ADV;
• and
• responsive to determining that the third brake system is not available, triggering a failure message to be generated.
