Abstract
Systems for collision avoidance by an autonomous vehicle include a navigational controller adapted to (i) control a driving path of the autonomous vehicle, (ii) process sensor signals from a first sensor system, and (iii) determine whether an object is present in the driving path of the autonomous vehicle based on the sensor signals from the first sensor system. The systems can also include a processor, operationally independent from the navigational controller, adapted to (a) process sensor signals from a second sensor system and (b) determine whether an object is present in the driving path of the autonomous vehicle based on the sensor signals from the second sensor system.
