Abstract: Techniques are discussed herein for detecting and managing faults occurring within various vehicle systems, to enable the vehicle to respond safely and appropriately to the faults. In examples, a constraint generator may receive sensor data associated with the operation of a vehicle in an environment. The constraint generator may perturb the sensor data to mimic particular sensor faults, and execute simulations to determine performance degradations of the vehicle systems associated with the particular sensor faults. Based on the performance degradations associated with sensor faults, the constraint generator may determine the appropriate constraints with limitations on the operation of the vehicle, and communicate the constraint parameters to the appropriate vehicle systems accordingly.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying a constraint to apply to an operation of a vehicle are described herein. A vehicle computing system receives diagnostics and constraints associated with components of the vehicle. The vehicle computing system identifies constraints to apply to vehicular operation based on the received diagnostics and constraints. The vehicle computing system may determine whether a received constraint is valid, based on associated diagnostics. Based on a determination that the constraint is valid, the vehicle computing system may include the constraint in vehicle control considerations. Based on a determination that the constraint is invalid, the vehicle computing system may withhold the constraint from vehicle control considerations.
