Abstract: A sensor assembly for autonomous vehicles includes a side mirror assembly configured to mount to a vehicle. The side mirror assembly includes a first camera having a field of view in a direction opposite a direction of forward travel of the vehicle; a second camera having a field of view in the direction of forward travel of the vehicle; and a third camera having a field of view in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of forward travel of the vehicle. The first camera, the second camera, and the third camera are oriented to provide, in combination with a fourth camera configured to be mounted on a roof of the vehicle, an uninterrupted camera field of view from the direction of forward travel of the vehicle to a direction opposite the direction of forward travel of the vehicle.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods and systems for dynamically creating a trajectory for navigating a vehicle. The method may include receiving sensor data from at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle, the sensor data representative of a driving surface in a field of view of the autonomous vehicle; segmenting a portion of the driving surface in the field of view of the autonomous vehicle by determining nominal path based at least in part on the image data; assigning a plurality of nodes to at least a portion of the nominal path; associating the plurality of the nodes assigned to the nominal path with a line to generate at least one segmentation polyline; determining updated nominal path by fitting the each of the plurality of segmentation lines to the nominal path; generating a trajectory based on the updated nominal path; and navigating the autonomous vehicle according to the trajectory.

Abstract: Systems (e.g., remote station systems) and methods for remotely controlling a vehicle are provided. The remote station system may comprise a transmitter configured to receive one or more data points and a processor configured to identify one or more objects within a field of view of the vehicle, using the one or more data points and generate a signal to magnify a section of the field of view of the vehicle containing the one or more objects. The remote station system may comprise a display configured to display the one or more data points generated by the one or more sensors and display the one or more objects in a magnified state. The remote station system may comprise one or more remote actuation controls configured generate one or more driving actions. The one or more driving actions may correlate to one or more actuator commands.
