Abstract
Systems and methods are directed to an autonomy computing system for an autonomous vehicle. The autonomy computing system can include functional circuits associated with a first compute function of the autonomous vehicle. Each of the functional circuits can be configured to obtain sensor data that describes one or more aspects of an environment external to the autonomous vehicle at a current time. Each of the functional circuits can be configured to generate, over a time period and based on the sensor data, a respective output according to the specified order. The autonomy computing system can include monitoring circuits configured to evaluate an output consistency of the respective outputs, and in response to detecting an output inconsistency between two or more of the respective outputs, generate data indicative of a detected anomaly associated with the first autonomous compute function.
