System and apparatus for on-demand, feature focused data collection in autonomous vehicles and autonomous driving systems

An on-demand, feature focused data collection system of an automobile vehicle, comprising:

• at least one data collection device provided with an autonomous automobile vehicle;
• a data collection unit receiving data collected by the at least one data collection device in response to a data collection request submitted by a user;
• a control logic device receiving the data collection request;
• an executor of the control logic device executing a reference algorithm to generate a reference output;
• a comparator of the control logic device comparing the reference output to the data collected by the at least one data collection device;
• a logger device of the control logic device triggered when a predetermined data condition is met and activating collection of the data;
• and
• a lock-free wait-free storage management feature sized to store the data.

A method to perform on-demand, feature focused data collection, comprising:

• providing at least one data collection device with an automobile vehicle;
• receiving data from the at least one data collection device in a data collection unit in response to a data collection request submitted by user;
• combining portions of the data received by the data collection unit as a data scene group and storing the data scene group in one of the data collection unit of the automobile vehicle or at a remote server;
• and
• transferring the data collection request to a control logic device and activating collection of the data.
