DRIVE Labs: Eliminating Collisions with Safety Force Field – NVIDIA Developer News Center

Editor's note: This is the latest post in our NVIDIA DRIVE Labs series, which takes an engineering-focused look at individual autonomous vehicle challenges and how NVIDIA DRIVE addresses them. Safety Force Field (SFF) vehicle software is designed specifically for collision avoidance. It acts as an independent supervisor on the actions of the vehicle's primary planning and control system, which could be either human-driven or autonomous. Specifically, SFF performs real-time double-checks of the controls that were chosen by the primary system. If SFF deems the controls to be unsafe, it will veto and correct the primary system's decision.
