    Abstract: In various examples, systems and methods are disclosed that perform sensor fusion using rule-based and learned processing methods to take advantage of the accuracy of learned approaches and the decomposition benefits of rule-based approaches for satisfying higher levels of safety requirements. For example, in-parallel and/or in-serial combinations of early rule-based sensor fusion, late rule-based sensor fusion, early learned sensor fusion, or late learned sensor fusion may be used to solve various safety goals associated with various required safety levels at a high level of accuracy and precision. In embodiments, learned sensor fusion may be used to make more conservative decisions than the rule-based sensor fusion (as determined using, e.g., severity (S), exposure (E), and controllability (C) (SEC) associated with a current safety goal), but the rule-based sensor fusion may be relied upon where the learned sensor fusion decision may be less conservative than the corresponding rule-based sensor fusion.
