Abstract

Methods and systems for controlling an autonomous vehicle. The method includes receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors, determining, a plurality of probability hypotheses based upon the sensor data, and receiving metadata from at least one sensor of the plurality of sensors. An integrity level of at least one of the plurality of probability hypotheses is determined based upon the received metadata and at least one action is determined based upon the determined integrity level and at least one probability hypothesis of the plurality of probability hypotheses. The at least one action is then initiated by an electronic controller for the vehicle.
