Abstract

Techniques are disclosed herein for reconfiguring reprogrammable hardware in an autonomous vehicle system. According to an embodiment, an autonomous driving system includes sensors and a configurable circuit having physical logic units. The autonomous driving system aggregates data observed from each of the sensors. The autonomous driving system detects a trigger indicative of a defect in the configurable circuit. The defect is identified as a function of the aggregated data. The autonomous driving system performs, in response to the trigger, a reconfiguration action on the configurable circuit to repair the defect.
