According to various embodiment, described herein are methods and systems for reliably detecting malfunctions in a variety of software or hardware components in an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). In one embodiment, a redundant system can be provided on an independent computing device in an ADV to check for malfunctions in a number of software or hardware components. When no malfunction occurs in the ADV, an autonomous driving system (ADS) in the ADV operates to drive the ADV, while the redundant system can monitor the ADS in a standby mode. In the event of a malfunction, the redundant system can take over the control of the ADV, and take appropriate actions based on a severity level of the malfunction.
