Abstract

A mechanism is described for facilitating smart collection of data and smart management of autonomous machines. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting one or more sets of data from one or more sources over one or more networks, and combining a first computation directed to be performed locally at a local computing device with a second computation directed to be performed remotely at a remote computing device in communication with the local computing device over the one or more networks, where the first computation consumes low power, wherein the second computation consumes high power.

Claims (46)

1. An autonomous vehicle comprising:

one or more processors including a graphics processor;

a network interface to provide access with one or more networks; and

a memory to store data;

wherein the one or more processors are to:

collect data from a plurality of data sources in operation of the autonomous vehicle, where the plurality of data sources includes sources external to the autonomous vehicle,

combine the collected data from the plurality of data sources,

generate one or more training sets for neural networks based on the combined data,

communicate the one or more training sets from the autonomous vehicle to an external server for training of neural networks,

receive information from the external server regarding optimization of parts and services for the autonomous vehicle, the information being based at least in part on training sets from one or more other autonomous vehicles, and

perform a diagnosis related to parts or services for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the received information from the external server.

2. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes autonomous agent data.

3. The autonomous vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the autonomous agent data includes one or more of:

exchange of data from neighboring vehicles or one or more operators or passengers of the neighboring vehicles to the autonomous vehicle, and

data from reports or complaints filed by one or more drivers or passengers or bystanders with one or more government agencies regarding local conditions, traffic, weather, or other vehicle and traffic related information.

4. The autonomous vehicle of claim 3 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes one or more of exchange of maps, real-time traffic information, real-time weather and near-future forecast, locations, route guidance, vehicle statistics, component/part statistics, and route guidance.

5. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes social media data obtained from one or more websites.

6. The autonomous vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the one or more networks comprise a cloud network or the Internet.

7. A method comprising:

collecting data by an autonomous vehicle from a plurality of data sources in operation of the autonomous vehicle, where the plurality of data sources includes sources external to the autonomous vehicle, wherein the autonomous vehicle includes one or more processors, including a graphics processor, and a network interface to provide access with one or more networks;

combining the collected data received from the plurality of data sources;

generating one or more training sets for neural networks based on the combined data;

communicating the one or more training sets from the autonomous vehicle to an external server for training of neural networks;

receiving information from the external server regarding optimization of parts and services for the autonomous vehicle, the information being based at least in part on training sets from one or more other autonomous vehicles; and

performing a diagnosis related to parts or services for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the received information from the external server.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes autonomous agent data.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the autonomous agent data includes one or more of:

exchange of data from neighboring vehicles or one or more operators or passengers of the neighboring vehicles to the autonomous vehicle, and

data from reports or complaints filed by one or more drivers or passengers or bystanders with one or more government agencies regarding local conditions, traffic, weather, or other vehicle and traffic related information.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes one or more of exchange of maps, real-time traffic information, real-time weather and near-future forecast, locations, route guidance, vehicle statistics, component/part statistics, and route guidance.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes social media data obtained from one or more websites.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more networks comprise a cloud network or the Internet.

13. At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a local computing device, cause the local computing device to perform operations comprising:

collecting data by an autonomous vehicle from a plurality of data sources in operation of the autonomous vehicle, where the plurality of data sources includes sources external to the autonomous vehicle, wherein the autonomous vehicle includes one or more processors, including a graphics processor, and a network interface to provide access with one or more networks;

combining the collected data received from the plurality of data sources;

generating one or more training sets for neural networks based on the combined data;

communicating the one or more training sets from the autonomous vehicle to an external server for training of neural networks;

receiving information from the external server regarding optimization of parts and services for the autonomous vehicle, the information being based at least in part on training sets from one or more other autonomous vehicles; and

performing a diagnosis related to parts or services for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the received information from the external server.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes autonomous agent data.

15. The machine-readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the autonomous agent data includes one or more of:

exchange of data from neighboring vehicles or one or more operators or passengers of the neighboring vehicles to the autonomous vehicle, and

data from reports or complaints filed by one or more drivers or passengers or bystanders with one or more government agencies regarding local conditions, traffic, weather, or other vehicle and traffic related information.

16. The machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes one or more of exchange of maps, real-time traffic information, real-time weather and near-future forecast, locations, route guidance, vehicle statistics, component/part statistics, and route guidance.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the data from the plurality of data sources includes social media data obtained from one or more web sites.

18. The machine-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the one or more networks comprise a cloud network or the Internet.
