MONITORING STATE-OF-HEALTH OF PROCESSING MODULES IN VEHICLES
First Claim
1. A vehicle, comprising:
- at least one processing module to control at least one automated vehicle task, function, and/or operation; and
a health check module to determine a corresponding state of health of the at least one processing module to perform the at least one of task, function, and/or operation.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a vehicle implementing one or more processing modules. These modules are configured to connect and interface with the various buses in the vehicle, where the various buses are connected with the various components of the vehicle to facilitate information transfer among the vehicle components. Each processing module is further modularized with the ability to add and replace other functional modules now or in the future. These functional modules can themselves act as distinct vehicle components. Each processing module may hand-off processing to other modules depending on its health, processing load, or by third-party control. Thus, the plurality of processing modules helps to implement a middleware point of control to the vehicle with redundancy in processing and safety and security awareness in their applications.
