Abstract
Devices and methods are disclosed for verifying the integrity of a sensing system. In one aspect, a vehicle includes an integrated circuit configured to support a message-based protocol between the integrated circuit and a sensor device associated with the vehicle, and send a sensor capability safety support message, as part of the message-based protocol, to determine one or more capabilities of the sensor device. The integrated circuit is also configured to receive, in response to the sensor capability safety support message, identification data corresponding to the sensor device, from the sensor device. The memory is configured to store a plurality of request data corresponding to a plurality of fields supported by the message-based protocol and associated with the integrated circuit and the sensor device capabilities, and store the response, including the identification data, from the sensor device.
