Abstract
In state-of-the-art autonomous vehicles, data from the vehicle's sensors is often processed using fast and expensive onboard hardware. Such an onboard processing scheme quickly drains the vehicle's battery and consumes computing resources. Recent research proposed to offload parts of processing tasks onto cloud. However, offloading tasks to the cloud is challenging because of the low latency needed for reliable and safe autonomous driving decisions. To address this issue, we propose an Age of Processing (AoP)-aware offloading mechanism for autonomous vehicles. First, we develop a collaboration space of edge clouds to process data closely as possible to the vehicles. Second, we reveal a new communication planning model that allows the vehicle to find suitable open radio units available in route to offload tasks to edge clouds and reduce variation in offloading delay. Third, we formulate an optimization problem that minimizes AoP, i.e., elapsed time from generating tasks and getting computation results. Our AoP-based approach allows a status update to be available to the vehicle after computation. To solve the formulated non-convex problem, we apply dual decomposition and design an AoP-aware algorithm to compute the solution in near real-time. The results demonstrate that our approach meets computation deadlines while minimizing AoP.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
