Abstract

A data management platform for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) is provided. An AV can partition raw data into ingestion objects. The AV can transform the ingestion objects and generate associated manifests. The AV can offload first copies of the manifests in real-time to a data center. At a later time, the AV can offload second copies of the manifests to an AV servicing station. The station can upload the second copies to the data center. If the manifests match, then the station can notify the AV that it is safe to erase the manifests and transformed objects from local storage after offloading completes. If the manifests do not match and a Service Level Agreement (SLA) is violated, then the AV can be docked for further diagnosis. If no SLA is applicable, then the error can be annotated and the transformed objects can be discarded.
