  • Systems and methods for navigating vehicles with redundant navigation systems
    Patent number: 11214270
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive sensor data providing information about an environment surrounding a vehicle to a first computing system and a second computing system associated with the vehicle, wherein the first computing system and the second computing system are each capable of generating navigation instructions for the vehicle based on the received sensor data. A first planned trajectory is determined based on the sensor data by the first computing system. The vehicle is navigated by the first computing system based on the first planned trajectory. Control of the vehicle is transitioned from the first computing system to the second computing system based on a failure associated with the first computing system. An emulated trajectory is determined based on data describing a current motion of the vehicle by the second computing system. The vehicle is navigated by the second computing system based on the emulated trajectory.
