END-TO-END SELF-CONTROLLED SECURITY IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18450512 titled 'END-TO-END SELF-CONTROLLED SECURITY IN AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application is about improving the security of autonomously driving automobiles and other autonomous transportation or robotic equipment. - The techniques involve creating a closed system for control sensors, where the sensors emit signals that are difficult for external attackers to decipher. - The control systems use majority voting to enhance security, by combining multiple perception results from different time and space domains. - Time domain majority voting involves using samples from the same polarization in a time series, taking into account oversampling. - Space domain majority voting involves using different polarizations or sensor types to enhance security.

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are presented to improve the security of operation for autonomously driving automobiles and other transportation or robotic equipment with varying degrees of autonomous operation. This can include an end-to-end closed-system support of control sensors' own signal emission and self-controlled frequency or polarization, which can be hard to decipher by external attackers. The control systems can employ majority voting by multiple perception results from both time (e.g., samples from same polarization in time series of an epoch, given the fact of oversampling) and space (e.g., different polarizations or sensor types) domains for enhanced security.
