Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for responding to unsupported or degraded conditions for autonomous vehicles (AVs). In some aspects, a method includes aggregating one or more trigger events generated across a software stack of an autonomous vehicle (AV) as aggregated trigger events, the one or more trigger events indicating at least one of unsupported or degraded conditions that bring the AV outside of allowable driving conditions of the AV, ranking the aggregated trigger events in accordance with priority levels corresponding to the aggregated trigger events, determining an AV maneuver to respond to a selected trigger event, wherein the selected trigger event is a highest ranked trigger event of the aggregated trigger events, causing the AV maneuver to be performed by the AV, and determining whether to at least one of fail the AV or recover the AV to a normal driving state in response to the selected trigger event.
