In a method for operating a system, which has a plurality of sensors (21, 22, 23), the sensors (21, 22, 23) provide first sensor data (11) to a primary process (31). Furthermore, the sensors (21, 22, 23) provide second sensor data (12). At least a part of the first sensor data (11) and the second sensor data (12) is subjected to an analysis (13). A result (16) of the analysis (13) is used in at least one secondary process (33) of the primary process (31).

Error handling in an autonomous vehicle, including: receiving, by a control system of the autonomous vehicle, from an automation computing system, a remediation sequence comprising a first plurality of operational commands determined to bring the autonomous vehicle to a stop; determining, by the control system, that the error state associated with the autonomous vehicle has been reached; and executing, by the control system, in response to the error state being reached, the first plurality of operational commands.

Methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for adjusting a network-controllable physical resource of a sensory service in response to biometric data for a group of users are disclosed. In one example, a processing system including at least one processor may gather biometric data of each user of a group of users of a sensory service. The sensory service may comprise at least one network-controllable physical resource. The processing system may then aggregate the biometric data for the group of users and tailor the sensory service for the group of users based upon the biometric data for the group of users that is aggregated. In one example, the tailoring of the sensory service may include adjusting the at least one network-controllable physical resource in response to the biometric data that is aggregated for the group of users.
