Abstract:
Controllers, control architectures, systems and methods are described for controlling a host vehicle's participation in a platoon. In some embodiments, a vehicle control system includes a vehicle controller configured to determine vehicle control commands for at least partially automatically controlling the host vehicle based at least in part on sensor information. The vehicle control commands are arranged to be directly or indirectly utilized by one or more host vehicle control units resident on the host vehicle. The vehicle control system also includes one or more safety monitoring algorithms that, during at least partially automated driving, verify that selected vehicle control commands received from the vehicle controller meet selected safety criteria. At least some of the safety algorithms utilize sensor data in the verification of the commands received from the vehicle controller. The sensor data used by the safety algorithms may come from the host vehicle and/or a second vehicle.

Claim (Index 23):
A vehicle interface controller as recited in  claim 19 , wherein the vehicle interface controller has an ASIL rating that is higher than an ASIL rating of the vehicle controller, and wherein the component on the second vehicle that verified the verified sensor information received from the second vehicle has an ASIL rating that is at least as high as the ASIL rating of the vehicle interface controller.
