Abstract: A modular enclosure is configured to house a set of components that facilitate the autonomous functions of an autonomous vehicle while meeting a set of requirements. The set of components comprises a sensor processing unit configured to detect objects from sensors associated with the autonomous vehicle, a compute unit configured to determine a navigation path for the autonomous vehicle, a vehicle control unit configured to control the autonomous function of the autonomous vehicle, a communication gateway configured to establish communication of the autonomous vehicle, and a data diagnostics unit configured to determine a health data for at least one component of the autonomous vehicle. The set of requirements comprises a space requirement, a communication requirement, a cooling requirement, and a shock absorption requirement.

Abstract: A gateway processor coordinates communication among an autonomous vehicle components boundary domain, a vehicle boundary domain, and an oversight server. The gateway processor receives a message from the oversight server. The gateway processor determines a priority level, a domain tag data, and destination data associated with the message. The priority level indicates a scheduling requirement associated with the message. The domain tag data indicates that the message is associated with a particular domain from among the autonomous vehicle components boundary domain, the vehicle components boundary domain, or the security domain. The destination data indicates that the message is designated to a particular component within the particular domain. In response, the gateway processor schedules the message to be transmitted to the particular domain. The gateway processor routes the message to the particular component.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) includes features that allows the AV to comply with applicable regulations and statues for performing safe driving operation. An example system for an AV includes a communications gateway device. The communications gateway device includes a plurality of modules each configured for different communication mediums or applications. In particular, the plurality of modules includes a first module for communicating with a remote computer. Via the first module, vehicle operational data is reported to the remote computer, and instructional data is received from the remote computer. The modules further include a second module for communicating with devices located within a vicinity external to the vehicle, and a third module configured to communicate with subsystems located within the vehicle. The example AV system includes a second communications gateway device that is configured to be redundant.
