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
