Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicular autonomous driving system includes a time division multiplexed (tdm) bus, an autonomous driving (ad) controller coupled to the tdm bus, and a plurality of ad sensors coupled to the tdm bus. the ad sensors are configured to collect ad data and transmit collected ad data to the ad controller on the tdm bus in an assigned time slot at a first power level. a first ad sensor of the plurality of ad sensors is configured to, based upon collected ad data, detect an ad emergency event. in response to the detection, the first ad sensor is configured to transmit an ad emergency message on the tdm bus in a non-assigned time slot and at a second power level that exceeds the first power level. the ad sensor may transmit the ad emergency message in a particular sub-slot of the non-assigned time slot.
