Abstract

This disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling a vehicle in response to an abnormal condition. The method may include generating, by a main computing system, a nominal motion plan and a fallback motion plan for each predetermined interval from a location of the vehicle. The method may also include sending, by the main computing system, the nominal motion plan and the fallback motion plan for each predetermined interval to a redundant ACE system. The method may include detecting, by the redundant ACE system, an abnormal condition of the vehicle, and in response to the abnormal condition, controlling the vehicle, by the redundant ACE system, to perform a predetermined vehicle action comprising navigating the vehicle to a safe stop according to the last received fallback motion plan.
