Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:
generating, by the upper level controller, an acceleration command based on the desired acceleration;
transmitting, by the upper level controller, the acceleration command to a longitudinal dynamics controller including a mode switch, an acceleration processor, and a deceleration processor;
receiving, by the longitudinal dynamics controller, a set of feedback signals from the hydraulic braking system and the acceleration system;
calculating an updated emergency collision gap from a new series of radar and LIDAR measurements made by the ego vehicle;
determining, by the longitudinal dynamics controller, whether to continue to invoke, by the mode switch, the override function based on the updated emergency collision gap;
continuing to override the cloud based probabilistic controller when the override function is invoked: and
returning control to the cloud based probabilistic controller when the override function is not invoked.
