Abstract
This invention includes an autonomous driving system for automobiles, comprising: one or more common electronic communication ports of autonomous driving (communication ports) that are built-in on the automobiles; and one or more universal autonomous driving portable controllers (portable controllers) that are to be plugged-in to the said communication ports that are built-in on the automobiles. The interfaces of the communication ports and the portable controllers are both standardized such that the portable controllers can be plugged-in universally to all of the automobiles that are equipped with the built-in communication ports. The communication ports comprise electronic communication of all relevant electronic control units (ECUs) and feedback information of the automobiles, dedicated for the said portable controllers to communicate with and to control the automobiles. In addition to the portable controllers, the communication ports comprise a buffer that is designed to execute a short duration of controls to make emergency stops, in case of loss of connection with the portable controllers due to accidents or other failure conditions. The portable controllers comprise a centra…
