Abstract
In one embodiment, a sensor unit to be utilized in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) includes a sensor interface that can be coupled to a number of sensors mounted on a number of different locations of the ADV. The sensor unit further includes a host interface that can be coupled to a host system such as a planning and control system utilized to autonomously drive the vehicle. The sensor unit further includes a number of data transfer modules corresponding to the sensors. Each of the data transfer modules can be configured to operate in one of the operating modes, dependent upon the type of the corresponding sensor. The operating modes include a low latency mode, a high bandwidth mode, and a memory mode.
