Abstract: Systems and methods of automatic correction of map data for autonomous vehicle navigation are disclosed. One or more servers can receive, from a first autonomous vehicle traveling on a road, a first correction to map data identifying a location in the map data; generate a modified parameter of the map data based on the first correction and a second correction identifying the location, the second correction received from a second autonomous vehicle traveling on the road; update the map data based on the modified parameter; and provide the updated map data to the first autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle comprises one or more sensors, and a processor coupled with the one or more sensors and stored inside a housing of the vehicle. The processor can be configured to collect data regarding the environment surrounding the vehicle from the one or more sensors; detect a second vehicle and an observed trajectory of the second vehicle from the collected data, the observed trajectory indicating a position or speed of the second vehicle over a time period; compare the observed trajectory with one or more expected trajectories of the second vehicle; responsive to determining a deviation between the observed trajectory and at least one of the one or more expected trajectories satisfies a condition, generate a record indicating the deviation and including a video of the second vehicle that corresponds to the observed trajectory; and transmit the record to a remote processor.

Abstract: A computer-vision pipeline is organized as a closed loop of a sensor-processing phase, an image-processing phase, and an object-detection phase, each comprising a respective phase processor coupled to a master processor. The sensor-processing phase creates multiple exposure images, and derives multi-exposure multi-scale zonal illumination-distributions, to be processed independently in the image-processing phase. In a first implementation of the object-detection phase, extracted exposure-specific features are pooled prior to overall object detection. In a second implementation, exposure-specific objects, detected from the exposure-specific features, are fused to produce the sought objects of a scene under consideration. The two implementations enable detecting fine details of a scene under diverse illumination conditions. The master processor performs loss-function computations to derive updated training parameters of the processing phases. Several experiments applying a core method of operating the computer-vision pipelines, and variations thereof, ascertain performance gain under challenging illumination conditions.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include systems and methods for generating proposed driving paths for an automated vehicle performing a lane-change. An autonomy system continually generates reference trajectories. The autonomy system then iteratively and recursively generates clothoid points tracing the reference trajectory, by the computer, but constrained by clothoid thresholds. The clothoid points define a clothoid representing a revised trajectory, effectively constrained by the clothoid thresholds. The autonomy system generates and updates driving instructions for the automated vehicle to follow a drive path represented by the clothoid. If the autonomy system determines clothoid points cannot be generated according to the thresholds, then the autonomy system determines the automated vehicle cannot safely or practicably perform the lane change maneuver for the given portion of road. As the autonomy system may continually generate the reference trajectories, the autonomy system may proceed to analyzing a next reference trajectory to perform the lane change maneuver.

Abstract: A system can include a driving simulator. The driving simulator can include one or more input devices corresponding to controls of a vehicle; a display; and one or more processors communicatively coupled with the one or more input devices and the display. The one or more processors can be configured to simulate, on the display, an autonomous vehicle driving through a simulated environment in a manual mode based on inputs from the one or more input devices, automatically in an autonomous mode, and transition between manual mode and autonomous mode. The system can include a remote computing device. The remote computing device can be configured to receive an input from a user interface displayed at the remote computing device during a simulation of the autonomous vehicle in the autonomous mode, the input causing a fault in the operation of the autonomous vehicle in the autonomous mode.

Abstract: A driving simulator can include one or more input devices; a display; and one or more processors communicatively coupled with the one or more input devices and the display. The one or more processors can be configured to store, in memory, a predetermined path for a simulated vehicle to travel in a simulated environment; execute an application to cause the simulated environment to appear on the display in a autonomous mode in which the application is configured to simulate the simulated vehicle driving by updating the display over time according to the predetermined path; receive an input from at least one of the one or more input devices; and responsive to receiving the input, change the mode of the application from the autonomous mode to a manual mode in which the application is configured to update the display according to inputs from the one or more input devices.
