    摘要: An autonomous vehicle includes an array of sensors, a processor, and a switch. The array of sensors generate sensor data related to one or more objects in an external environment of the autonomous vehicle and the processor determines an environmental context. The switch transfers the sensor data from the array of sensors to the processor, where the switch is configured to: (a) receive first sensor data from a first sensor group of the array of sensors; (b) receive second sensor data from a second sensor group of the array of sensors; (c) determine an order of transmission of the first sensor data over the second sensor data in response to the environmental context; and (d) transmit the first sensor data to the processor prior to transmitting the second sensor data based on the order of transmission.

    摘要: An autonomous vehicle includes a control system, an array of sensors, processing logic, and a switch. The processing logic generates operation instructions based on sensor data and the control system controls the autonomous vehicle based on the operation instructions. The array of sensors generate the sensor data that is related to objects in an external environment. The switch is coupled between the sensors and the processing logic to buffer the processing logic from the sensor data. The switch is further coupled between the processing logic and the control system to provide the operation instructions from the processing logic to the control system. The switch includes a prioritization engine that prioritizes an order of transmission, from the switch to the processing logic, of the first sensor data over the second sensor data based on received vehicle operation data.
