Abstract
In various examples, permanent faults in hardware component(s) and/or connections to the hardware component(s) of a computing platform may be predicted before they occur using in-system testing. As a result of this prediction, one or more remedial actions may be determined to enhance the safety of the computing platform (e.g., an autonomous vehicle). A degradation rate of a performance characteristic associated with the hardware component may be determined, detected, and/or computed by monitoring values of performance characteristics over time using fault testing.
