Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle are provided. The system may comprise a vehicle, one or more sensors configured to generate one or more data points, one or more actuation controls configured to enable the vehicle to perform one or more driving actions, and an automatic trajectory control system, comprising a processor, configured to perform automatic trajectory control. In the performing the automatic trajectory control, the automatic trajectory control system may be configured to transmit an automatic trajectory command to a remote station system. The system may comprise the remote station system. The remote station system may be configured to receive the one or more data points generated by the one or more sensors and generate one or more driving actions. The one or more driving actions may correlate to one or more actuator commands configured to cause the vehicle to perform the one or more driving actions.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle are provided. The system may comprise a vehicle, one or more sensors, one or more actuation controls configured to enable the vehicle to perform one or more driving actions, and a controller, comprising a processor, configured to receive one or more trajectory commands, automatically generate an automatic trajectory command, and generate one or more driving actions. The one or more driving actions may correlate to one or more actuator commands configured to cause the vehicle to be positioned in accordance with the one or more trajectory plot points of the automatic trajectory command. The system may comprise a remote station system comprising one or more remote actuation controls configured generate the one or more driving actions of the remote trajectory command. The remote station system may be configured to generate one or more driving actions.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for controlling a vehicle in response to an abnormal condition. The method may include generating, by a main computing system, a nominal motion plan and a fallback motion plan for each predetermined interval from a location of the vehicle. The method may also include sending, by the main computing system, the nominal motion plan and the fallback motion plan for each predetermined interval to a redundant ACE system. The method may include detecting, by the redundant ACE system, an abnormal condition of the vehicle, and in response to the abnormal condition, controlling the vehicle, by the redundant ACE system, to perform a predetermined vehicle action comprising navigating the vehicle to a safe stop according to the last received fallback motion plan.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems and methods for path planning by a planner of an autonomous vehicle. The method may include receiving by the planner perception data from a perception module, wherein the perception data comprises tracking or predicted object data associated with objects or obstacles in an environment of the autonomous vehicle, and wherein the tracking or predicted object data are determined based on high recall detection data and high precision detection data, generating by the planner a trajectory for controlling the autonomous vehicle based on the perception data received from the perception module, and transmitting to a controller of the autonomous vehicle the trajectory such that the autonomous vehicle is navigated by the controller to a destination.

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.
