Autonomous vehicle component malfunction impact assessment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for assessing a component configured for use in autonomous vehicles, comprising:
- collecting, by one or more processors, operating information from a plurality of autonomous vehicles each having a plurality of components, wherein each vehicle of the plurality of autonomous vehicles includes at least one instance of the component to be assessed;
identifying, by one or more processors, occurrences of the component malfunctioning in the operating information;
determining, by one or more processors, at least one risk of malfunction associated with the component based upon the identified occurrences of the component malfunctioning;
determining, by one or more processors, at least one result of each identified occurrence of the component malfunctioning, each result indicating an impact of the occurrence of the component malfunctioning on at least one of the following;
a risk of a vehicle collision or severity of a vehicle collision; and
generating, by one or more processors, a component profile for the component indicating one or more combinations of risk and impact associated with the component malfunctioning.

Abstract
Methods and systems for assessing, detecting, and responding to malfunctions involving components of autonomous vehicles and/or smart homes are described herein. A risk of malfunction and/or cyber-attack may be determined by collecting operating data from a plurality of autonomous vehicles and/or smart homes. The operating data may be analyzed to identify occurrences of a component malfunctioning. For each component, a risk associated with malfunctioning and/or cyber-attack may be determined based upon the identified occurrences. Based on the risks, at least one result associated with the malfunction and/or cyber-attack may be determined. A component profile may be generated based upon the determined risk and/or the impact of the determined results.
