Abstract
An event queue is maintained to store IO events generated from a number of sensors and timer events generated for a number of autonomous driving modules. For each of the events pending in the event queue, in response to determining that the event is an IO event, the data associated with the IO event is stored in a data structure associated with the sensor in a global store. In response to determining that the event is a timer event, a worker thread associated with the timer event is launched. The worker thread executes one of the autonomous driving modules triggered or initiated the timer event. Input data is retrieved from the global store and provided to the worker thread to allow the worker thread to process the input data.
