A Hybrid Network

Hardware

Modified base Vehicle Platform with Uber-specific mounting provisions, electrical harness, cooling interface, interior trim, and software control API

Gateway Module serves as a gateway to the base Vehicle Platform from the Uber Self Driving System, translating messages and commanding the vehicle’s actuators (brakes, throttle, steering)

Side and rear facing cameras work in collaboration to construct a continuous view of the vehicle’s surroundings

Roof mounted antenna provide GPS positioning and wireless data capabilities

Top mounted lidar provides a 360° 3-dimensional scan of the environment

Forward facing camera array focus both close and far field, watching for braking

vehicles, crossing pedestrians, traffic lights, and signage

360° radar

coverage detects

vehicles and other obstacles

Custom designed compute and storage allow for real-time processing of data while a fully integrated cooling solution keeps components running optimally

Automatic Emergency Braking system operates independently as a safeguard for

certain situations requiring activation of the vehicle braking system
