A method includes receiving, from a sensing system of an autonomous vehicle (AV), image data including first image data and second image data. The method further includes determining, for a frame, whether an amount of image data matching between the first image data and the second image data satisfies a first threshold condition, in response to determining that the amount of image data matching satisfies a first threshold condition, identifying the frame as invalid, determining whether a number of consecutive frames determined to be invalid satisfies a second threshold condition, and in response to determining that the number of consecutive frames determined to be invalid satisfies the second threshold condition, generating a notification that the sensing system is outputting invalid data.

Disclosed are methods and control units for facilitating diagnosis for a vehicle. The invention comprises: receiving configuration information related to a configuration of an add-on interface from a vehicle external communication unit, the add-on interface being arranged in the vehicle as an interface between a vehicle internal system and the add-on system; configuring the add-on interface based on the configuration information; creating, based on the configuration information, at least one diagnostic identifier related to the add-on system; and providing diagnostic information corresponding to the at least one diagnostic identifier to the vehicle external communication unit, thereby facilitating diagnosis of the add-on system performed by at least one diagnosis tool associated with the external communication unit.

A vehicle driving assist apparatus has surrounding sensors which detect vehicle surrounding situations and driving assist systems which assist a driving operation of a driver, based on the vehicle surrounding situations. The vehicle driving assist apparatus determine whether the surrounding sensors malfunction. When the at least one electronic control unit determines that at least one of the surrounding sensors malfunctions, the vehicle driving assist apparatus determine operable driving assist systems and inoperable driving assist systems, and causes a display device to display both of a display indicating that at least one of the surrounding sensors malfunctions and a display indicating a list of the operable driving assist systems and the inoperable driving assist systems in a manner that the driver can realize which driving assist systems are operable and which driving assist systems are inoperable.

The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle (2) with a remotely controlled parking assistant (6), with the steps: (S100) Reading in status data (SD) indicative of a status (S1, S2, S3, S4), (S200) Determination of at least one state (Z1, Z2) by evaluating the status data (SD), (S300) Assigning the specific state (Z1, Z2) to a state class (K1, K2) of a plurality of state classes (K1, K2), and (S400) Outputting a control data record (AS1, AS2) that is assigned to the assigned state class (K1, K2) and/or (S600) outputting an information data record (IS1, IS2) that is assigned to the assigned state class (K1, K2).

An information processing device measures a position of the moving object, acquires success or failure information relating to success or failure of the position measurement, acquires at least one of histories, determines to interrupt driving control of the moving object, and decides, if the driving control of the moving object is determined to be interrupted, a restart method. The histories include a history of the position of the moving object, a driving history of the moving object, a history of illuminance around the moving object, and a history of a direction of an imaging element mounted in the moving object. The driving control of the moving object is interrupted on the basis of the success or failure information. The restart method restarts the driving control of the moving object on the basis of at least one of the histories.

An electronic control device including a sensor fusion processing unit that integrates a plurality of pieces of sensor information having been input from a plurality of sensors. The electronic control device further including a behavior prediction processing unit that obtains a future value in which a future behavior of a target object is predicted based on joint information integrated by the sensor fusion processing unit. The electronic control device further including a comparison unit that compares a future value predicted by the behavior prediction processing unit with output information of each sensor of the sensor fusion processing unit at a predicted time.

An embodiment vehicle includes a battery, a switch configured to identify whether a state of a power of the vehicle is in a normal state or an abnormal state by monitoring the power of the vehicle and to control a supply of a battery power of the battery based on the state of the power being in the abnormal state, and a controller configured to control the vehicle based on the supply of the battery power.

Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for self-detection of fault conditions experienced by vehicle components, generation of device health codes indicative of the fault conditions, and broadcasting of the device health codes over mixed vehicle communication networks. The device health codes can be parsed to identify fault information, and the fault information can be assessed along with current vehicle operational data to determine a recommended vehicle response measure to one or more fault conditions experienced by one or more vehicle components.

A failover system for autonomous vehicles, including: detecting an error associated with a hardware resource of a first autonomous driving system of the autonomous vehicle; performing a failover from the first autonomous driving system to a second autonomous driving system comprising fewer hardware resources relative to the first autonomous driving system, wherein performing the failover causes control operations generated by the second autonomous driving system to be applied to the autonomous vehicle instead of control operations generated by the first autonomous driving system; and reconfigure one or more other hardware resources of the first autonomous driving system not associated with the error into a redundant autonomous driving system.

A vehicle control device includes a communicator configured to communicate with a parking lot management device having a function of guiding a vehicle, a driving controller configured to perform driving control including at least one of speed control and steering control of the vehicle, and an abnormality determiner configured to determine the presence or absence of an abnormality in the parking lot management device. The driving controller is configured to perform the driving control based on guidance of the parking lot management device on the basis of information received by the communicator from the parking lot management device and to restrict the driving control based on the guidance of the parking lot management device in a case where the abnormality determiner determines that the abnormality has occurred in the parking lot management device.
