Artificial intelligence enabled vehicle operating system

Abstract

A vehicle operating system (VOS) in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) can communicate with a cloud platform to automatically train AI models. The VOS collects real-time data from the ADV, and generates inference data based on the real-time data using a teacher edge model of an AI model and generates second inference data based on the real-time data using a student edge model of the AI model. The VOS then obtains one or more differences between the first inference data and the second inference data, and retrains the student edge model of the AI model based on the one or more differences. Both real-time data and the retrained student edge model are uploaded to a cloud platform for use in upgrading the student edge model and the teacher edge model on the cloud platform. The upgraded teacher edge model and the student edge model can be redeployed over-the-air (OTA) through a software define process. The above process of training AI models can be repeated in a closed-loop automatically without user intervention.
