Patent attributes
In particular embodiments, a computing system may receive, by a processor in communication with an actuator of a vehicle, an instruction associated with an environment external to the vehicle and configured for controlling the actuator of the vehicle. The system may receive, by the processor, sensor data associated with the environment and generated by one or more sensors associated with the vehicle. The system may determine, by the processor, a state associated with an operation mode of the vehicle based on the received sensor data. The system may evaluate, by the processor, whether the instruction is invalid based on the state associated with the operating mode of the vehicle. The system may, subsequent to determining that the instruction is invalid, based on the evaluation, prevent transmission of the instruction to the actuator of the vehicle.
