AI Technical Summary
Modern vehicles' braking systems are vulnerable to malicious software attacks that can trigger unnecessary or dangerous emergency braking, posing a significant safety risk.
A braking system with multiple receiving units (online and offline) and a comparator to validate braking situations using both internal and external data, ensuring reliability by requiring consistent confirmation from at least two units before activating the brake controller.
The system enhances safety by preventing false or malicious-triggered emergency braking, utilizing diverse and independent data sources to ensure accurate detection of necessary braking scenarios, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
