  • Publication number: 20230040552
    Abstract: A system for recording event data of an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The present disclosure suggests an EDR system operation scheme suitable for properly investigating the cause of a vehicle accident. Subsystems of an autonomous driving control system may determine whether an event satisfying a preconfigured condition has occurred, and send to an EDR system a trigger signal to trigger recording of data elements related to the event when the occurrence of the event is detected. The EDR system may record data elements that are useful to reconstruct a map of an external environment surrounding an autonomous vehicle at the time of the occurrence of the event or to reconstruct an internal environment of the vehicle.
