Automotive neural network

摘要

Network node modules within a vehicle are arranged to form a reconfigurable automotive neural network. Each network node module includes one or more subsystems for performing one or more operations and a local processing module for communicating with the one or more subsystems. A management system enables traffic from the one or more subsystems of a particular network node module to be re-routed to an external processing module upon failure of the local processing module of that particular network node module.

主权项

1. A management system within a vehicle, comprising:
a vehicular network interface configured to couple to a vehicular communication network in the vehicle; and a processing module configured to communicate with a local processing module within a network node module in the vehicle and one or more subsystems within the network node module via the vehicular network interface and the vehicular communication network, the one or more subsystems for performing one or more operations of the network nodule module; wherein the processing module is further configured to:
determine whether the local processing module has failed; andwhen the local processing module has failed, provide the one or more subsystems within the network node module with an address of an external processing module that is external to the network node module to enable traffic to be re-routed from the one or more subsystems to the external processing module.
