US Patent 11176007 Redundant processing fabric for autonomous vehicles

A redundant processing fabric in an autonomous vehicle may include processing, by a first processing unit of a plurality of processing units, sensor data from a first sensor of a plurality of sensors, where the plurality of processing units are coupled to the plurality of sensors via a switched fabric, wherein the plurality of processing units and plurality of sensors are included in the autonomous vehicle; determining a failure in processing the sensor data by the first processing unit; and redirecting, via the switched fabric, sensor data from the first sensor a redundant processing unit.
