Application: Automatic collection of autonomous vehicle logging data (Patent ID: US20240087380A1)

The patent filed by Micron Technology Inc. describes a method for an autonomous vehicle that involves controlling vehicle systems by a host system, autonomously collecting data generated by the systems, and storing the data in a memory device independently of the host system's control. The patent also includes claims for a device with communication interfaces, sensors, volatile and non-volatile memory, and a controller to update vehicle systems based on analyzed data from the memory. The device can detect improper vehicle operation, terminate autonomous mode, store sensor data in a database, and receive configuration data for display control.

Furthermore, the patent claims a system with memory storing data sent to a server for analysis, an artificial neural network model trained using the analyzed data, and control mechanisms for steering, braking, or acceleration based on the model's output. The system updates the neural network model in response to operational failures detected in the vehicle. Additionally, an apparatus described in the patent includes a communication network and a server that receives event data associated with object detection, analyzes the data for software failures, and sends communications to update the software, particularly firmware used by a controller. The server can select the type of event data to receive and respond to events like collisions with objects.
