Abstract

Autonomous vehicles incorporate a large diversity of cutting-edge technologies to enable self-driving capabilities and enhance the experience of drivers and passengers. In general, systems based on these technologies rely on increasingly sophisticated sensors and actuators, which allow vehicles to detect events in the environment, providing their embedded systems with means to infer and make route and navigation decisions and supporting vehicles with greater driving autonomy. Full implementation of self-driving vehicles still involves several concerns related to the implications and threats that minor faults in the system may pose to safety; these faults could cause accidents and place human lives at high risk. Therefore, the design of a standalone vehicle demands significant attention to the safety and reliability of the driving system. These concerns have led the automotive industry to invest heavily in embedded electronic systems to achieve comprehensive safety, comfort, stability, and performance.
