    Abstract: Sound signals are received by a plurality of microphones disposed on a top of an ADV. An analysis of the sound signals is performed based on a spectrum and a vibration intensity of the sound signals. A wheel which the sound signals come from and a thickness of a brake pad of the wheel is determine based on the analysis of the sound signals. A brake pad wear degree of the brake pad and how long the ADV can run with the brake pad within a safety range is determined. A warning message indicating warning information based on the brake pad wear degree is transmitted.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for deceleration control during emergency braking using control algorithm override. An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method for deceleration by a controlling device of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). The method includes engaging a braking system of the ADV to decelerate the ADV using a first deceleration algorithm. When an onset of discrepancy between a velocity of the ADV and a corresponding wheel speed of the ADV is detected, a processing device, based on the discrepancy, overrides an output of the first deceleration algorithm using a second deceleration algorithm that prioritizes in reducing the discrepancy between the velocity of the ADV and the corresponding wheel speed of the ADV over a target rate of deceleration computed by the first deceleration algorithm.
