A control subsystem, method and computer program product are provided to detect the failure of a tire of an autonomous vehicle (AV) and to direct a response to the tire failure that has been detected that is appropriate under the circumstances. In this regard, the control subsystem includes processing circuitry configured to receive signals from microphone(s) carried by the AV. The processing circuitry is configured to evaluate signal characteristics of the signals to identify signals indicative of a tire failure. In an instance in which a tire failure is identified, the processing circuitry is configured to determine a type of the tire failure based upon the signal characteristics. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine remedial action to be taken based at least in part upon the type of tire failure. Different remedial actions are determined to be taken for different types of tire failures.
A control subsystem of an autonomous vehicle (AV), the control subsystem comprising processing circuitry configured to:
A method comprising:
A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code instructions stored therein, the computer-executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions configured to:
