摘要： A driving assistance system includes a front camera module (FCM). The system, responsive to processing captured image data from the FCM, generates FCM control signals. The system includes a plurality of vehicle sensors capturing sensor data and an advanced driving-assistance system (ADAS) controller. The ADAS controller, responsive to processing the sensor data, generates ADAS control signals. The ADAS controller generates an ADAS status signal indicating a reliability of the generated ADAS control signals. With the ADAS status signal indicating the reliability of the generated ADAS control signals is at or above a threshold ADAS reliability level, the system controls the vehicle using the ADAS control signal and, responsive to determining that the ADAS status signal indicates that the reliability of the generated ADAS control signals is below the threshold, switches from controlling the vehicle based on the ADAS control signals to controlling the vehicle based on the FCM control signals.

摘要： 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.

摘要： Systems and techniques are provided for using a multi-sensor modality target to evaluate autonomous vehicle sensors. An example method can include identifying a sensor target panel based on a first set of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) return signals corresponding to at least one retroreflective panel associated with the sensor target panel. In some aspects, the method can include transmitting a plurality of LiDAR beams directed toward the sensor target panel, wherein the sensor target panel includes a first sensor target region that is associated with a first reflectivity value and a second sensor target region that is associated with a second reflectivity value. In some cases, the method can include determining one or more LiDAR parameters based on a second set of LiDAR return signals corresponding to the sensor target panel.

摘要： A fully tested autonomous system works predictably under ideal or assumed environment. However, behavior of the system is not fully defined when component(s) malfunction or fail (e.g., sensor failures) and the like which leads to inefficient task execution. Present disclosure provides system and method for imperfect sensing-based analysis of agents deployed in environments for traversal task execution, specifically, in unknown environments. The system estimates performance metric (e.g., task execution time) and safety metrics (e.g., number of collisions encountered while executing the task) related to task of traversal of the vehicle/agent from its current position to a target location. The system also incorporates sensitivity of each sensor(s), for given task, when they malfunction. The sensing malfunction can be both independent and/or co-related with malfunction of other sensors. Such a model helps to identify the most critical component in the agent(s), thereby increasing reliability of the system and meet safety standards.
