  • Patent number: 10730490
    Abstract: A failure detection and correction function which is able to detect a failure of an automatic braking system, and provide a corrected action. The failure detection and correction function is independent of the automatic braking function. The failure detection and correction function uses object coordinates and the speed of the vehicle to determine the collision risk, and then calculates a desired deceleration if there is imminent collision. The function uses desired deceleration to compare to a deceleration request from automatic braking function to determine if there is a failure. The failure detection and correction function takes corrected action to avoid the collision if the automatic braking function has failed.

  • Publication number: 20190291797
    Abstract: A corner or end module for assembly on a vehicle body comprises a wheel(s), a frame having connection points for removably securing the corner module to the vehicle body, a drive system capable of providing torque to drive the wheel(s), a brake system connected to the wheel(s) capable of braking the wheel(s), a suspension system located between the frame and the wheel(s), a steering system connected to the wheel(s), capable of providing a steering input for the wheel(s), and a communication system capable of communicating from at least one of a drive controller, brake controller, and steering controller of the corner or end module with one of: another corner or end module, a vehicle controller; an autonomous drive controller; another vehicle, infrastructure, and a wireless data server.
