Abstract

Systems and methods for a vehicle to use a fallback control system orthogonal to a primary control system are provided. A method includes collecting, by a fallback control system of a vehicle, sensor data generated by one or more sensors of the vehicle; determining, by the fallback control system using a first process different from a second process of a primary control system of the vehicle, an alternative action for the vehicle based on the sensor data; and sending, by the fallback control system based on the alternative action, an instruction for modifying an action associated with the primary control system upon a faulty condition associated with the primary control system.
