What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is: 
     
         1 . A computerized system for controlling automotive functions of a vehicle, comprising:
 a multi-core system on chip;   a hypervisor including a multi-core synchronization function for a plurality of cores on the system on chip; and   a plurality of automotive function modules in communication with the plurality of cores through the hypervisor.   
     
     
         2 . The computerized system of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of automotive function modules comprises:
 a proprioceptive sensing and fusion module that comprises brake force sensor systems, position sensor systems, throttle position sensor systems, acceleration sensor systems, speed sensing systems, and steering position sensing systems and torque sensing systems to sense a current vehicle data;   an exteroreceptive sensing and fusion module comprising a multi-modal sensing system, and wherein the exteroreceptive sensing and fusion module calculates a target vehicle data.   
     
     
         3 . The computerized system of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of automotive function modules comprises:
 an advanced driver assistance (ADAS) control module to receive the current vehicle data from the proprioceptive sensing and fusion module and the target vehicle data from the exteroreceptive sensing and fusion module, and to convert the target vehicle data and the current vehicle data into an appropriate control information to be passed to a periodic brake control module, a periodic steering control module and a throttle control module.   
     
     
         4 . The computerized system of  claim 3 , wherein the plurality of automotive function modules comprises:
 a periodic throttle control module to control a throttle behavior of the vehicle.   
     
     
         5 . The computerized system of  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of automotive function modules comprises:
 a periodic steering control module to control a steering behavior of the vehicle.   
     
     
         6 . The computerized system of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of automotive function modules comprises:
 a periodic braking control module to control a braking behavior of the vehicle.   
     
     
         7 . The computerized system of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of automotive function modules comprises:
 a sporadic error sensing module to sense a sporadic error in a set of different modules and systems of the vehicle.   
     
     
         8 . The computerized system of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of automotive function modules comprises:
 an infotainment module to manage an infotainment system of the vehicle.   
     
     
         9 . The computerized system of  claim 7 , wherein uses feature extraction algorithms, filtering processes, and fusion of data using algorithms to calculate the target controlled vehicle data.
