Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for using system-level malfunction indicators to monitor the operation and resiliency of the autonomous driving system components are described. One example of a method for diagnosing a fault in a component of an autonomous vehicle includes receiving, from an electrical sub-component of the component, an electrical signal, receiving, from an electronic sub-component of the component, a message, and determining, based on the electrical signal and the message, an operational status of the component.
Claims20
A method for diagnosing a fault in a component of an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- receiving, from an electrical sub-component of the component, an electrical signal;
- receiving, from an electronic sub-component of the component, a message;
- and
- determining, based on the electrical signal and the message, an operational status of the component.
An apparatus for diagnosing a fault in a component of an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory with instructions thereon, wherein the instructions upon execution by the processor cause the processor to:
- receive, from an electrical sub-component of the component, an electrical signal;
- receive, from an electronic sub-component of the component, a message;
- and
- determine, based on the electrical signal and the message, an operational status of the component.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereupon, the instructions, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method for diagnosing a fault in a component of an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
- instructions for receiving, from an electrical sub-component of the component, an electrical signal;
- instructions for receiving, from an electronic sub-component of the component, a message;
- and
- instructions for determining, based on the electrical signal and the message, an operational status of the component.
