    摘要: Various techniques related to authenticating and verifying the integrity of data received by a computer system from an external source (such as a sensor) are disclosed. Hardware circuits are disclosed that, along with the computer processor, allow for error-checking and authentication of data received by the computer system. For instance, the hardware circuits may generate a separate authentication code that can be compared to the authentication code in the data itself to determine whether or not the message is authentic and whether or not there is an error in the data. The disclosed techniques reduce the processing requirements of a computer system and can be implemented using simple hardware circuit designs.

    摘要: 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.
