  • Methods and systems to assess vehicle capabilities
    Patent number: 11809190
    Abstract: Performance anomalies in autonomous vehicle can be difficult to identify, and the impact of such anomalies on systems within the autonomous vehicle may be difficult to understand. In examples, systems of the autonomous vehicle are modeled as nodes in a probabilistic graphical network. Probabilities of data generated at each of the nodes is determined. The probabilities are used to determine capabilities associated with higher level functions of the autonomous vehicle.
    Type: Grant
