An automotive sensor integration module including a plurality of sensors differing from each other in at least one of a sensing cycle or an output data format, and a signal processor for selecting a plurality of weights for each of the plurality of sensors on the basis of external environment data, and applying the plurality of weights to a plurality of detection data output from the plurality of sensors respectively to generate a plurality of weighted data.

A system for collecting data from multiple sensors at a central node is described. The system includes multiple pairs of sensor array multiplexers (SAMs) and sensors connected in series along the length of two cables each having a twisted wire pair. A first end of the length of the two cables is connected to the central node for receiving data from each of the multiple pairs. The multiple pairs include sensors of at least two different types, which may have different sampling rates. The first cable carries timing data between the multiple pairs and the central node and the second cable carries sensor data between the multiple pairs and the central node.

Methods and systems of correcting operation of multiple modules are described. The methods include generating a first dual-tone signal in a first module and transmitting the first dual-tone signal to a second module. A second dual-tone signal is generated in the second module and transmitted to the first module. The first module determines a first phase of the received second dual-tone signal and the second module determines a second phase of the received first dual-tone signal. Operation of one or both of the first and second modules is corrected based on the determined first phase and the determined second phase.
