Patent Images
1. A self-driving vehicle (SDV) comprising:
- a plurality of sensors generating sensor data; and
a control system to execute instructions that cause the control system to;
detect one or more conditions relating to an operation of the SDV;
select a set of sensors from the plurality of sensors based on the detected one or more conditions; and
prioritize the sensor data generated from the selected set of sensors to control one or more aspects relating to the operation of the SDV.

Abstract
A self-driving vehicle (SDV) can operate by analyzing sensor data to autonomously control acceleration, braking, and steering systems of the SDV along a current route. The SDV includes a number of sensors generating the sensor data and a control system to detect conditions relating to the operation of the SDV, such as vehicle speed and local weather, select a set of sensors based on the detected conditions, and prioritize the sensor data generated from the selected set of sensors to control aspects relating to the operation of the SDV.
