Abstract
A computing device for a vehicle is provided. The computing device includes one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing device, and a memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to receive sensor data relating to operation of an autonomous driving assistance system, process the received sensor data to derive a value for an assistance system data quality parameter, compare the quality parameter value to a reference, and generate a notification including a result of the comparison.
Claims20
A computing device for a vehicle, the computing device comprising one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing device, and a memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
- receive sensor data relating to operation of an autonomous driving assistance system;
- process the received sensor data to derive a value for a sensor data quality parameter;
- compare the quality parameter value to a reference;
- and
- generate a notification including a result of the comparison.
A computing device for a vehicle, the computing device comprising one or more processors for controlling operation of the computing device, and a memory for storing data and program instructions usable by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
- receive sensor data relating to operation of the autonomous driving assistance system;
- process the received sensor data to derive a value for a data quality parameter;
- compare the quality parameter value to a reference;
- responsive to the comparison of the quality parameter value to the reference, determine if an operating efficiency of the autonomous driving assistance system is below a first predetermined value;
- responsive to a determination that the operating efficiency of the autonomous driving assistance system is below the first predetermined value, determine if the operating efficiency of the autonomous driving assistance system has been below the first predetermined value for longer than a predetermined time period;
- and
- responsive to a determination that the operating efficiency of the autonomous driving assistance system has been below the first predetermined value for longer than the predetermined time period, control the vehicle so as to deactivate the autonomous driving assistance system.
