  • Dynamic data preservation based on autonomous vehicle performance needs
    Patent number: 11908253
    Abstract: A computing system with a data store including storage priorities each associated with a different predefined event type. The storage priority indicating a likelihood detection of the predefined event type by an autonomous vehicle causes the autonomous vehicle to store sensor system output from a sensor system in the autonomous vehicle. The computing system can receive a data storage request indicating a request for the autonomous vehicle to store sensor system output for a specific predefined event type. The computing system can further update the storage priorities. Updating the storage priorities includes updates a storage priority associated with the specific predefined event type based on a parameter of specific predefined event type. The computing yet further can transmit the updated storage priorities to the autonomous vehicle which causes the autonomous vehicle to change the amount of sensory system output stored by the autonomous vehicle.
