• Abstract: Data is both the key enabler and a major bottleneck for machine learning in autonomous driving. Effective model training requires not only large quantities of sensor data but also balanced coverage that includes rare yet safety-critical scenarios. Capturing such events demands extensive driving time and efficient selection. This paper introduces the Lambda framework, an edge-native platform that enables on-vehicle data filtering and processing through user-defined functions. The framework provides a serverless-inspired abstraction layer that separates application logic from low-level execution concerns such as scheduling, deployment, and isolation. By adapting Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) principles to resource-constrained automotive environments, it allows developers to implement modular, event-driven filtering algorithms while maintaining compatibility with ROS 2 and existing data recording pipelines. We evaluate the framework on an NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and compare it against native ROS 2 deployments. Results show competitive performance, reduced latency and jitter, and confirm that lambda-based abstractions can support real-time data processing in embedded autonomous driving systems.

  Federated Learning (FL) is attracting more and more attention to collaboratively train a machine learning model without transferring raw data. FL generally exploits a parameter server and a large number of edge devices during the whole process of the model training. We propose TEASQ-Fed to exploit edge devices to asynchronously participate in the training process by actively applying for tasks.

  An autonomous driving system should effectively use the information collected from the various sensors in order to form an abstract description of the world. Deep learning models, such as autoencoders, can be used for that purpose, as they can learn compact latent representations from a stream of incoming data. This work proposes CARNet, a Combined dynAmic autoencodeR NETwork architecture that utilizes an autoencoder combined with a recurrent neural network to learn the current latent representation.
