DISTRIBUTION OF PROCESSING RESOURCES TO LOCAL AND CLOUD-BASED SYSTEMS WITH REGARD TO AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION

摘要

Embodiments include a method that can be performed by a processor coupled to a memory. The processor is local to a vehicle that is operable to determine initial location and direction information associated with the vehicle at a starting point of a travel request. The processor receives one or more images taken while the vehicle is traveling along a navigable route related to the travel request and estimates execution time for each of one or more calculations that correspond to an analysis of the one or more images. The processor also transmits the one or more calculations in processing resources of a cloud-based system that is connected to the processor of the vehicle according to the corresponding execution times.
