1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
monitoring a data rate for sensor output data from a sensor, wherein the sensor is one of a plurality of sensors mounted on an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV), a host system of the ADV receives sensor data from the sensors, the sensor data correspond to a driving environment surrounding the ADV, and the host system plans a planning trajectory to autonomously drive the ADV based on the planning trajectory;
receiving a target data rate from the host system;
receiving the monitored data rate of the sensor data; and
controlling the data rate of the sensor data to be within a threshold of the target data rate.
