  • Patent number: 11878701
    Abstract: A method and device for controlling an autonomous driving vehicle, and an autonomous driving vehicle. Wherein the method comprises: detecting error information of different components in a vehicle, wherein the different components comprise at least one of the following: a power supply, a sensor, a navigation device, a log memory and a processing device; if the error information of any component is detected, feeding back the detected error information to a processor; restarting the vehicle’ automatic driving function based on a feedback result, wherein the feedback result is feedback by the processor according the detected error information. The present invention solves the technical problem that the autonomous driving vehicle in the related art cannot perform error information detection on the components in the vehicle which leads to the low reliability of the autonomous driving vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11670122
    Abstract: A data collection device and method, and an autonomous driving system are provided. The data collection device includes multiple sensor modules integrated on a circuit board, and a processor connected to the circuit board. The multiple sensor modules are configured to collect traveling information of a target vehicle in a traveling process. The processor is configured to send the traveling information to an Industrial Personal Computer (IPC) such that the IPC analyzes the traveling information and generates operation instructions.
