Embodiments include providing a computer vision video stream and a human vision video stream using a single camera. The camera can comprise a single, high-resolution senor and a wide-angle lens providing high resolution video having a wide aspect ratio field of view. The streams can be generated, wherein the computer vision video stream maintains the wide aspect ratio field of view and the human vision video stream comprises high resolution video. The computer vision video stream can be provided to a computer vision system, wherein the computer vision system uses the computer vision video stream as input for an automated process, and the human vision video stream can be provided to a system that displays the human vision video stream to a user.

Combined computer vision and human vision camera system

A power supply device for a vehicle that includes two or more independent power sources, a simple low-power voltage monitor connected to a fast switch device, an electronic control unit (ECU), and a dedicated standby monitor element. Each power source has a separate path to connect to the load(s). That is to say, a primary path connects the primary power source to the one or more loads, and a backup path connects the backup power source to the one or more loads. Furthermore, each path includes a back-to-back blocking element, which prevents a direct connection between the primary power source and the backup power source. At standby, both or all paths are blocked except the standby monitor, ensuring extremely low quiescent current. When the system is ON, the voltage level of the power system is monitored; if the voltage level drops below a threshold level, then the paths are switched.

Vehicle power devices, systems, and methods for fail operational electronic control unit power management

Remote devices have replaced keys as a means to access a secure feature of a vehicle. Remote door locks, starters, climate control, trunk openers, etc., have allowed vehicles to be more welcoming and easier to use. However, such functions often rely on radio frequency transmissions that can merely relay signals coming from an authorized device that may allow a nefarious user to access the vehicle or contents therein. By encoding sequence numbers and timestamps within an exchange, a vehicle may determine that an authorized user is too far away to be granted access to the secure feature, thereby denying access to the nefarious user implementing a relay attack on the vehicle.

According to one embodiment, an autonomous vehicle safety system can be implemented with a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors being configured to produce an electrical signal that is indicative of an environmental condition about a vehicle; a sensor distribution hub that receives the electrical signals from the plurality of sensors and generates two streams of data based on the electrical signals received from the plurality of sensors; a first micro-processing unit configured to receive a first of the two streams of data generated by the sensor distribution hub, where the first micro-processing unit is further configured to autonomously control the vehicle; and a second micro-processing unit configured to receive a second of the two streams of data generated by the sensor distribution hub, where the second micro-processing unit is also configured to autonomously control the vehicle.
