Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for timing synchronization between multiple computing nodes in an autonomous vehicle host system is disclosed. Timing of a first computing node of an autonomous vehicle host system is calibrated based on an external time source. A first timing message is transmitted from the first computing node to a second computing node of the autonomous vehicle host system via a first communication channel between the first computing node and the second computing node. Timing of the second computing node is calibrated based on the first timing message, wherein immediately subsequent to the calibration of timing of the second computing node, timing of the first computing node and of the second computing node is synchronized.
