Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the research on L3 and above autonomous driving technology, autonomous driving and its related modules are required to have a higher functional safety level, such as requiring backup redundancy for braking and steering functions, and backup redundancy for network communications. For the power supply system, L3 and above levels need to have redundant power supply nodes, which can be diagnosed when the power supply system fails and immediately switch to the backup power supply system to avoid single point failure in the traditional vehicle power supply system, which causes multiple functional failures of the entire vehicle. Among them, the loss of control of drive control, steering assistance, brake control and other functions can cause serious personal injury to the driver and passengers.

[0003] Technical solutions of existing technology:
