Some aspects relate to systems and methods for fly-by-wire reversionary flight control including a pilot control, a plurality of sensors configured to: sense control data associated with the pilot control, and transmit the control data, a first actuator communicative with the plurality of sensors configured to receive the control data, determine a first command datum as a function of the control data and a distributed control algorithm, and actuate a first control element according to the first command datum.

A system for providing remote assistance to an autonomous vehicle is disclosed herein. The system includes at least one remote assistance button configured to be selectively activated to initiate remote assistance for the autonomous vehicle. Each remote assistance button corresponds to a dedicated remote assistance function for the autonomous vehicle. For example, the system can include remote assistance buttons for causing the autonomous vehicle to stop, decelerate, or pull over. The system includes a controller configured to detect activation of the remote assistance button(s) and to cause remote assistance to be provided to the autonomous vehicle in response to the activation. For example, the autonomous vehicle may perform an action corresponding to the activated button with input assistance from the controller but without the system taking over control of the autonomous vehicle.

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media may be configured to facilitate usage of vehicle redundant processing resource. A primary processing resource may be dedicated to navigation control of a vehicle. A redundant processing resource may be provided for performing one or more tasks of the navigation control of the vehicle based on a failure of the primary processing resource. One or more available portions of the redundant processing resource may be used for performing one or more tasks of non-navigation control of the vehicle.

The redundancy control device includes three controllers that output status signals, a majority voting circuit to which a first voltage or a second voltage is supplied as an output signal through an output line of each controller, a switch provided in each output line, a voltage supply unit provided for each output line to supply the second voltage to the output line when the first voltage is lost, a latch circuit provided for each output line to latch the second voltage when the second voltage is supplied thereto and continue to output the second voltage, a comparison circuit provided for each controller to output a comparison signal based on a comparison of the status signals, and a switch control unit provided for each switch to outputs a switch signal to the switch in response to the comparison signal from the comparison circuit.

A method includes establishing a first wireless connection between a movable object and a first remote control device, and establishing a second wireless connection between the movable object and at least one second remote control device. The method also includes selecting, based on a determination that the first wireless connection is normal, a first control signal received from the first remote control device to control the movable object. The method further includes selecting, based on a determination that the first wireless connection is abnormal and that the second wireless connection is normal, a second control signal received from the at least one second remote control device to control the movable object.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to controlling a vehicle in an autonomous driving mode. The system includes a plurality of sensors configured to generate sensor data. The system also includes a first computing system configured to generate trajectories using the sensor data and send the generated trajectories to a second computing system. The second computing system is configured to cause the vehicle to follow a receive trajectory. The system also includes a third computing system configured to, when there is a failure of the first computer system, generate and send trajectories to the second computing system based on whether a vehicle is located on a highway or a surface street.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods that enable human supervision of a highly capable automated driving system. In particular, the systems and methods of the present disclosure enable a human (e.g., a passenger, driver/operator, or remote supervisor of an autonomous vehicle) to easily and quickly transition control of the autonomous vehicle from a primary motion plan that controls the vehicle towards a primary destination to a secondary motion plan that controls the vehicle to a safe state. As such, the systems and methods of the present disclosure enable advanced human supervision of autonomous vehicle behavior in which a human can cause an autonomous vehicle to operate in a risk-reduced manner or otherwise maneuver to a safe state, without requiring the human to actually assume manual control of the vehicle.

A sensor system may include first and second sensors configured to be coupled to a vehicle and generate respective first and second sensor signals indicative of operation of the vehicle. The sensor system may also include a sensor anomaly detector including an anomalous sensor model configured to receive the first and second sensor signals and determine that one or more of the first sensor or the second sensor is an anomalous sensor generating inaccurate sensor data. The sensor system may also be configured to identify one or more of the first sensor or the second sensor as the anomalous sensor generating inaccurate sensor data.

A flight management assembly of an aircraft and method of monitoring the flight management assembly. The assembly includes two flight management systems, and a monitoring and backup unit, each of the flight management systems configured for generating data including a trajectory and a prediction of a parameter of the aircraft, one of the flight management systems being active and the other being passive, the monitoring and backup unit configured for carrying out monitoring of at least one of the items of data generated by the active flight management system in order to verify if the item of data is valid, the flight management assembly carrying out, in case of validation of the monitored item of data, a synchronization of the monitoring and backup unit and of the passive flight management system, with data called synchronization data of the active flight management system, namely a flight plan and/or a flight trajectory.

A controller for transmitting control information necessary for autonomous driving to an autonomous driving vehicle is provided. The controller includes: a reception device configured to receive a signal transmitted from a wireless communication device included in the autonomous driving vehicle; a first transmission device configured to transmit first control information to the wireless communication device included in the autonomous driving vehicle; and a second transmission device configured to transmit information to a satellite based on a reception condition of the signal from the autonomous driving vehicle received by the reception device, the information being used by the satellite to transmit second control information to a satellite communication device included in the autonomous driving vehicle.
