Abstract
A vehicular control system includes a plurality of electronic control units (ECUs), each providing a respective quantity of computational units representative of an amount of processing power of the respective ECU. The ECUs operate a vehicle in a nominal autonomous operational mode when a sum of the quantity of computational units exceeds a threshold. The system, while the ECUs operate the vehicle in the nominal autonomous operational mode, and responsive to detecting a failure of one of the ECUs, determines whether a sum of the quantity of computational units of the remaining ECUs that do not have a failure exceeds the threshold. The ECUs, responsive to the system determining that the sum of the quantity of computational units of the remaining ECUs fails to exceed the threshold, switches from operating the vehicle in the nominal autonomous operational mode to operating the vehicle in a degraded autonomous operational mode.
