Abstract: A redundant hardware and software architecture can be designed to enable vehicles to be operated in an autonomous mode while improving the reliability and/or safety of such vehicles. A system for redundant architecture can include a set of at least two redundant sensors coupled to a vehicle and configured to provide timestamped sensor data to each of a plurality of computing unit (CU) computers. The CU computers can process the sensor data simultaneously based on at least a time value indicative of an absolute time or a relative time and based on the timestamped sensor data. The CU computers provide to a vehicle control unit (VCU) computer at least two sets of outputs configured to instruct a plurality of devices in a vehicle and cause the vehicle to be driven.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle can include a compute controller that can efficiently perform autonomous driving operations. An apparatus for autonomous vehicle operation comprises an electrical board that includes a plurality of semiconductor devices; a first switch device that is electrically coupled to the plurality of semiconductor devices via a first communication bus of the electrical board; and a second switch device that is electrically coupled to the plurality of semiconductor devices via a second communication bus of the electrical board, where the second switch device is configured to route data between any two or more of the plurality of semiconductor devices using the second communication bus, and where a first data carrying capacity of the first communication bus is independent of a second data carrying capacity of the second communication bus.
