Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for controlling an exterior and dashboard lights of an autonomous vehicle are described. One example of a method for controlling one or more exterior lights includes receiving, from an autonomous driving system (ADS) of the vehicle, an input to control one or more exterior lights that are part of a lighting system of the vehicle, and transmitting, based on the input, a message to a controller area network (CAN) bus of the lighting system, the message being further based on a driver command upon a determination that a driver-initiated message is received. In an example, the lighting system of the vehicle further comprises a plurality of dashboard lights.

Abstract: Improvements to steering functionality and safety thereof for a vehicle are disclosed. In particular, disclosed embodiments monitor and diagnose steering commands received by an in-vehicle controller from a remote server. The steering commands may be evaluated with respect to rationality and context. For example, a steering angle indicated by the steering command is compared to a current vehicle steering angle and/or to other steering angles indicated by preceding and/or subsequent steering commands. Based on diagnosis of the steering commands, an in-vehicle controller can permit or prevent engagement of autonomous vehicle operation, which applies the steering commands. In an autonomous mode, invalid steering commands can trigger a minimal risk condition (MRC) maneuver for the vehicle.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for a vehicular safety system in autonomous vehicles are described. An example method for safely controlling a vehicle includes selecting, based on a first control command from a first vehicle control unit, an operating mode of the vehicle, and transmitting, based on the selecting, the operating mode to an autonomous driving system, wherein the first control command is generated based on input from a first plurality of sensors, and wherein the operating mode corresponds to one of (a) a default operating mode, (b) a minimal risk condition mode of a first type that configures the vehicle to pull over to a nearest pre-designated safety location, (c) a minimal risk condition mode of a second type that configures the vehicle to immediately stop in a current lane, or (d) a minimal risk condition mode of a third type that configures the vehicle to come to a gentle stop.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method and apparatus are provided for training a safety driver associated with an autonomous vehicle (AV) operating in an autonomous driving mode. The computer-implemented method includes receiving a selection of one or more vehicle operation faults that are configured to impact operation of one or more vehicle systems of the AV. The computer-implemented method also includes injecting the one or more vehicle operation faults into one or more vehicle systems of the AV and detecting one or more driver responses executed by the safety driver in response to the one or more vehicle operation faults. The computer-implemented method further includes determining a reaction time associated with the one or more driver responses. The reaction time is a measure of time it takes the safety driver to respond to the one or more vehicle operation faults.

Abstract: A vehicle data processing system receives a set of data logged, during operation of each of a fleet of vehicles, by a data logger communicatively coupled to a controller area network (CAN) bus in each of the vehicles. The set of logged data can include a plurality of measurements generated by a sensor configured to transmit the measurements across the CAN bus, and can be received from a storage device to which the set of logged data was uploaded after the vehicle completed one or more trips. The system processes the logged data using a set of alerting rules. When a criterion in the set of alerting rules is satisfied by the set of logged data, the system outputs an alert.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for redundant braking systems and architectures are described. An example method for controlling a vehicle includes receiving, by a braking system, a first set of commands generated by a primary brake controller and a primary vehicle control unit (VCU) comprising multiple processors, receiving a second set of commands generated by the primary VCU and a secondary brake controller, receiving a third set of commands generated by a secondary VCU and the primary brake controller, receiving a fourth set of commands generated by the secondary VCU and the secondary brake controller, and selecting, based on an arbitration logic, exactly one of the first, second, third, and fourth sets of commands to operate the braking system, wherein the primary VCU and the secondary VCU are configured in a master/slave architecture.

Abstract: Techniques are described to enable a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, to steer and/or apply brakes on a road when a failure condition occurs. An example method for autonomous driving operation includes receiving a reduced set of location information that describes a location of the autonomous vehicle on a road; receiving a reduced set of trajectory information where the autonomous vehicle is expected to be driven; determining a driving path information where the autonomous vehicle is expected to be driven; and in response to determining an occurrence of a fault condition: sending a first instruction to cause the autonomous vehicle to steer the autonomous vehicle using at least the driving path information and the reduced set of location information, and sending a second instruction to cause the autonomous vehicle to apply brakes.
