Abstract
The present application discloses a method and apparatus for operating a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) board in a driverless vehicle. The method according to a specific embodiment includes: collecting driving scenario information on a driving scenario of the driverless vehicle; determining, based on the driving scenario information, a speed at which the driverless vehicle executes a computing operation in the driving scenario; comparing the speed with a speed threshold; switching a working mode of the FPGA board in the driverless vehicle executing the computing operation to reduce power consumption of the FPGA board, in response to the speed being lower than the speed threshold. This embodiment implements the adaptive adjustment of the working mode of the FPGA board, thereby reducing the overall power consumption.
