Abstract
In embodiments, a vehicle communication network may include a remote computer server, a vehicle including, a plurality of sensors, a wireless communication transceiver, and/or an electronic control unit (ECU) that may be configured to control operation of the vehicle and obtain information from the plurality of sensors. The ECU may be configured to analyze, via machine learning, the information from the plurality of sensors and to control the vehicle according to the analysis. The remote server may be configured to analyze, via machine learning, the information from the plurality of sensors and other vehicle information from sensors of other vehicles to detect an error.
Claims20
A vehicle communication network, comprising:
- a remote computer server;
- and
- a vehicle including:
- a plurality of sensors;
- a wireless communication transceiver;
- an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to control operation of the vehicle and obtain information from the plurality of sensors;
- wherein the ECU is configured to analyze, via machine learning, the information from the plurality of sensors and to control the vehicle according to the analysis;
- wherein the remote computer server is configured to analyze, via machine learning, the information from the plurality of sensors and other vehicle information from sensors of other vehicles to detect an error;
- wherein the remote computer server is configured to transmit an indication of the error to the ECU of the vehicle.
A method of operating a vehicle having one or more sensors, a wireless communication transceiver, and an electronic control unit (ECU), the method comprising:
- receiving, at said ECU, first information about said vehicle from said one or more sensors;
- applying, via said ECU, at least one of machine learning and heuristics to the first information;
- detecting an error in the first information;
- and
- controlling, via said ECU, operation of said vehicle according to the error.
