Abstract: A system including at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor in communication with the at least one memory is disclosed. The at least one processor is configured to execute the stored instructions to: (i) initiate optimization of a pulse emitted by a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor into an environment of the LiDAR sensor using a respective channel of a plurality of channels of the LiDAR sensor; (ii) initiate optimization of a pipeline processing a signal corresponding to the emitted pulse received at a detector of the LiDAR sensor; (iii) construct a max-rank loss scalarization for the signal using the optimized pipeline; (iv) compute transients using centroid weights based upon the max-rank loss scalarization; and (v) replace a centroid based upon a covariance matrix adaptation-evolution strategy (CMA-ES) upon determining a new centroid corresponding to the computed transients.

Abstract: Systems and methods of determining distance bounds for adaptive cruise control. An autonomous vehicle system can identify a second vehicle on the roadway that is traveling in front of the autonomous vehicle; determine a speed of the second vehicle while the second vehicle travels along the roadway; generate a distance bound between the autonomous vehicle and the second vehicle based on the speed of the second vehicle and a speed of the autonomous vehicle; and control the speed of the autonomous vehicle to implement adaptive cruise control according to the distance bound.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein systems and methods for detecting fluid leaks for an automated vehicle using image data. The automated vehicle includes a camera at or near the front of the chassis and a camera at or near the rear of the chassis. Each camera captures images of a road surface beneath vehicle as the vehicle passes a road surface. The cameras store images of the road surface into a log with timestamp or location stamp, by mapping the image to a location in the world. An algorithm de-warps the images to correct for lensing. Using the locations data, computer vision, and/or object recognition, a processor extracts features, overlays the images, and compares the features to identify differences between the images indicating dripping fluid. Multi-image comparisons avoid false positives. The processor may recognize that image features indicate fluid leaks based on characteristics of spots (e.g., color, location, size) or other features.
