Abstract
A vehicle can include a primary computing device and a secondary computing device. The primary computing device can receive a trajectory and can generate control data to control the vehicle based on a computed state. Further, the primary computing device can send the internal data to the secondary computing device configured to control the vehicle in the event of a failure of the primary computing device. The secondary computing device can receive the internal data as first internal data and determine a capability associated with the primary computing device. Using the first internal data, the secondary computing device can determine second internal data and, based on the capability (e.g., in event of a failure of the primary computing device), can control the vehicle to follow a trajectory using the second internal data. Transferring state between an active to a standby computing device can ensure algorithmic synchronization and safe operation.
