Abstract

In one embodiment, a system determines a signal fault at a communication bus of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). In response to determining the signal fault, the system sends a brake pre-charge command to a brake system of the ADV to pre-charge a brake of the ADV. The system determines a preset tolerance time to validate the signal fault. In response to a time elapse of the preset tolerance time, the system validates the signal fault at the communication bus or determine a signal fault at another communication bus. In response to validating the signal fault at the communication bus or determining the signal fault at the another communication bus, the system sends a brake command to the brake system of the ADV to engage brakes for the ADV.
