Abstract

An architecture can generate lane graphs or path determinations, for devices such as robots or autonomous vehicles, using multiple sources of data while satisfying applicable requirements and regulations for operation. A system can fuse together data from multiple sources useful to determine localization. To ensure safety compliance, this fused data is compared against data from systems where safety is trusted and, as long as at least two comparators agree with the fused localization data, the fused localization data can be used and verified to be safety regulation compliant. This system can also fuse together available information useful for lane perception. This fused data is compared against data from systems where the safety is trusted, and as long as at least two comparators for these safety-compliant systems agree with the fused lane graph data, then the fused lane graph data can be provided for navigation and verified to be regulation compliant.
