Abstract

A system comprising one or more computing devices implements a vehicle application deployment planner. The vehicle application deployment planner may utilize received vehicle information to dynamically generate one or more vehicle deployment plans to send to respective vehicles. The deployment plans may also be dynamically updated based on newly received vehicle information. The application deployment planner may generate updated deployment plans for already deployed applications in response to chances in vehicle conditions as indicated in the received vehicle information. In some embodiments, the deployment plan may be processed by an in-vehicle application deployment planner/orchestrator of the vehicle to deploy the particular vehicle software application.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

one or more computing devices configured to implement a dynamic vehicle software deployment planner configured to:
receive, from a vehicle of a fleet of vehicles, a stream of vehicle data comprising updates indicating an electronic control unit (ECU) configuration of the vehicle and diagnostic data for the vehicle or systems of the vehicle;
generate, a deployment plan for deploying a distributed vehicle software application on the vehicle, wherein the deployment plan is generated based, at least in part, on the ECU configuration of the vehicle and the diagnostic data for the vehicle indicated in the stream;
and
send, based on a request received by the dynamic vehicle software deployment planner, the deployment plan,
wherein the generated deployment plan comprises instructions that, when executed, cause an in-vehicle application deployment planner of the vehicle to:
relay localized execution plans for deploying components of the distributed vehicle software application based on the deployment plan;
and
implement the localized execution plans to deploy, on the vehicle, the components of the distributed vehicle software application.

6 more elements

A method, comprising:

receiving, via a vehicle software deployment planner, a stream of vehicle data comprising updates indicating an electronic control unit (ECU) configuration for a vehicle and diagnostic data of the vehicle;
and
sending, based on a request to deploy to the vehicle a vehicle software application, a deployment plan for the vehicle software application, wherein the deployment plan is generated based on the ECU configuration and the diagnostic data indicated in the stream,
wherein the deployment plan comprises instructions that, when executed, cause an in-vehicle application deployment planner of the vehicle to:
implement, based on the deployment plan, localized execution plans for deploying the vehicle software application at the vehicle.

2 more elements

One or more non-transitory, computer-readable storage media, storing program instructions that when executed on or across one or more processors cause the one or more processors to implement a dynamic vehicle software deployment planner that implements:

sending, from a vehicle of a fleet of vehicles to the dynamic vehicle software deployment planner, a stream of vehicle data indicating an electronic control unit (ECU) configuration of the vehicles of the fleet and indicating diagnostic data of the vehicles of the fleet;
receiving a deployment plan for a distributed vehicle software application that has been dynamically generated, based on the indications of the stream, by a cloud-based dynamic vehicle software deployment planner;
implementing, via an in-vehicle application deployment planner of the vehicle, localized execution plans, based on the deployment plan, to install the distributed vehicle software application on the vehicle.
