Abstract: According to various embodiment, described herein are methods and systems for reliably detecting malfunctions in a variety of software or hardware components in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). In one embodiment, a redundant system can be provided on an independent computing device in an ADV to check for malfunctions in a number of software or hardware components. When no malfunction occurs in the ADV, an autonomous driving system (ADS) in the ADV operates to drive the ADV, while the redundant system can monitor the ADS in a standby mode. In the event of a malfunction, the redundant system can take over the control of the ADV, and take appropriate actions based on a severity level of the malfunction.

Abstract: A reverberation condition is detected affecting an electronic hearing device. The hearing device receives sound from a microphone and provides amplified sound to an in-ear receiver. The reverberation condition is predicted to impact clarity of the amplified sound. A sound processing capability is determined that will affect the reverberation. The sound processing capability is applied to the amplified sound and includes one or more of expansion, compression, and directionality processing. In response to detecting the reverberation condition, at least one of the following is performed: enabling the sound processing capability with a reverberation mitigation setting if the sound processing capability is currently disabled; or changing the sound processing capability to the reverberation mitigation setting from a default setting if the sound processing capability is currently enabled. The reverberation mitigation setting is removed when the reverberation condition is no longer detected.
