MULTIMODAL CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SELF DRIVING VEHICLE

Abstract:

According to examples, a self-driving vehicle ("SDV") is operable to select one of (i) an autonomous localization mode, in which the SDV autonomously operates using a localization map, or (ii) an autonomous neural network mode, in which the SDV uses a neural network component that implements one or more machine learning models. The SDV can autonomously operate on at least a segment of a planned route using the selected one of the autonomous localization mode or the autonomous neural network mode.
