Designing an architecture for AV systems
In this section, we will be discussing a reference architecture published by AWS called the Autonomous Driving Data Lake Reference Architecture, a link to which can be found in the References section.
The complete architecture is replicated in Figure 13.3:
Figure 13.3 – Autonomous Driving Data Lake Reference Architecture
In this section, we will zoom into parts of this architecture to discuss it in further detail. Let’s start with data ingestion:
- Figure 13.4 shows how cars may be installed with a data logger or some removable storage media that stores data from sensors. Custom hardware or AWS Outposts can be used to process data that is stored from one or more trips. For near real time, AWS IoT core can be used along with Amazon Kinesis Firehose to deliver data to Amazon S3. Customers can also use Amazon Direct Connect, as mentioned earlier in this chapter, for secure and fast data transfer...
