To ensure passenger safety, our vehicle is equipped with multiple layers of redundancy designed to mitigate the impact of sensor-induced navigation errors. The primary defense is a real-time diagnostic monitoring system that constantly evaluates the integrity of all sensor inputs, including LiDAR, radar, and cameras.
If the system detects inconsistent data or a hardware failure that compromises navigational accuracy, several fail-safe protocols are triggered. First, the vehicle enters a high-alert state where it prioritizes immediate lane centering using redundant secondary sensors. If the discrepancy between sensors exceeds a predefined safety threshold, the vehicle initiates a controlled deceleration protocol.
In more critical scenarios, the system executes a minimal risk maneuver. This involves the vehicle autonomously slowing down and transitioning to the shoulder of the roadway or bringing itself to a complete stop in a safe location. These emergency protocols are designed to override standard navigation commands to prioritize vehicle stability and lane discipline. This multi-layered approach ensures that even in the event of a technical fault, the vehicle maintains control and avoids leaving the roadway.
