Abstract

Autonomous driving vehicles (ADV), have been in recent years, victims of their own success. Through their use of increasingly sophisticated sensor modalities and deep learning capabilities, ADVs have not only learned how to probe their chaotic environment with higher granularity coupled with smooth trajectory execution but also inherited all the vulnerabilities that were hiding behind these new features. Ensuring the safety of ADVs is crucial since a simple fault along their underlying autopilot software stack can lead to catastrophic accidents with the loss of human lives. Therefore we propose a crash-fault tolerant scheme that can be triggered whenever a crash fault of the safety critical submodules of the autopilot software stack is detected, which executes an emergency trajectory and effectively steers the car into a safe spot where the autopilot can be rejuvenated. We implement and evaluate the efficacy of this recovery scheme in the Apollo ADV software stack in conjunction with the SVL simulator. Keywords: autonomous driving vehicles, rejuvenation, crash fault tolerance, simplex architecture, apollo software stack.
