Abstract:
An automotive vehicle includes a vehicle steering system, an actuator configured to control the steering system, a first controller, and a second controller. The first controller is in communication with the actuator. The first controller is programmed with a primary automated driving system control algorithm and is configured to communicate an actuator control signal based on the primary automated driving system control algorithm. The second controller is in communication with the actuator and with the first controller. The second controller is configured to, in response to a first predicted vehicle path based on the actuator control signal deviating from a current lane, control the actuator to maintain a current actuator setting. The second controller is also configured to, in response to the first predicted vehicle path being within the current lane, control the actuator according to the actuator control signal.
Abstract:
A control system for an autonomous vehicle includes at least one controller. The controller is programmed to receive first sensor readings from a first group of sensors, provide a first sensor fusion output based on the first sensor readings, the first sensor fusion output including a first detected state of a detected object, receive second sensor readings from a second group of sensors, and provide a second sensor fusion output based on the second sensor readings, the second sensor fusion output including a second detected state of the detected object. The controller is additionally programmed to, in response to the first detected state being outside a predetermined range of the second detected state, generate a diagnostic signal.

Abstract:
An automotive vehicle a vehicle steering system, an actuator configured to control the steering system, a first controller, and a second controller. The first controller is in communication with the actuator, and the second controller is in communication with the actuator and with the first controller. The first controller is configured to communicate an actuator control signal based on a primary automated driving system control algorithm. The actuator control signal includes a commanded actuator setting. The second controller is configured to, in response to a first condition being satisfied, control the actuator according to the actuator control signal. The second controller is also configured to, in response to a second condition being satisfied, control the actuator according to a modified actuator control signal. The modified actuator control signal corresponds to an intermediate actuator setting between the commanded actuator setting and a current actuator setting.
Abstract:
A system and method of transmitting data within a vehicle over a vehicle bus includes: constructing at an electronic control unit (ECU) a serial bus message that includes a data message and a message authentication code (MAC) that is created using a secret key stored at the ECU, a MAC algorithm, and the data message; transmitting the serial bus message to a receiving ECU over the vehicle bus; and authenticating the serial bus message at the receiving ECU using a copy of the secret key stored at the receiving ECU by creating a copy of the MAC from the data message included in the serial bus message, the copy of the secret key, and the MAC algorithm; comparing the MAC included in the serial bus message with the copy of the MAC created at the receiving ECU; and rejecting or accepting the data message based on the comparison.
