Abstract: In an embodiment, an automation system for a vehicle may employ a variety of diversities to enhance reliability, accuracy, and stability in automating operation of the vehicle. For example, in an embodiment, an automation system for a vehicle may include multiple sensor pods with overlapping fields of view. Each sensor pod may include multiple different sensors in an embodiment, providing diverse views of the environment surrounding the vehicle. A set of sensor pods with overlapping fields of view may also transmit their object data at different points in time, providing diversity in time. Redundancy in other areas, such as the network switches which connect the sensor pods to an automation controller, may also aid in provided fail operational functionality. In an embodiment, the sensor pods may include local processing to process the data captured by the sensors into object identification.

Abstract: Data generated by one or more data producers may be transmitted via multiple communication paths according to a path transmission scheme that divides transmission of different portions of the data amongst different communication paths. Upon a failure of a communication path, transmission of data may continue for those portions of data that are not assigned to the failed communication path. In some embodiments, modifications to the path transmission scheme may be made to change the division of data amongst remaining communication paths in the event of failure.

Abstract: Fault tolerance for an automation controller for a machine is provided. A first portion of phases of the automation controller may be processed with fail operational protection, in which a failure of one of the computers used for the first portion still permits full operational functionality in the machine. The remaining portion of the phases are processed with fail degraded protection, in which a failure of a computer used for the remaining portion permits continued operation but with one or more constraints, as compared to the fail operational portions.
