Abstract: Systems and methods for vehicle-to-vehicle communications are provided. An adverse system can obtain sensor data representative of an environment proximate to a targeted system. The adverse system can generate an intermediate representation of the environment and a representation deviation for the intermediate representation. The representation deviation can be designed to disrupt a machine-learned model associated with the target system. The adverse system can communicate the intermediate representation modified by the representation deviation to the target system. The target system can train the machine-learned model associated with the target system to detect the modified intermediate representation. Detected modified intermediate representations can be discarded before disrupting the machine-learned model.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) device includes a substrate layer, a cladding layer, a waveguide, and an ohmic element. The cladding layer is disposed with the substrate layer. The waveguide runs through the cladding layer. The ohmic element runs through the cladding layer. The ohmic element is arranged to impart heat to the waveguide when an electrical current is driven through the ohmic element.

Abstract: A vehicle radar sensor utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar signals that incorporate non-uniform FMCW chirps having chirp profiles that differ from one another to sense one or more parameters of one or more objects in a field of view of the radar sensor. The chirp profiles may differ from one another in various manners, e.g., based on starting frequency, repetition interval, duration and/or slope, and among other advantages, may be used to enhance sensing of various parameters such as range, Doppler/velocity and/or angle.

Abstract: A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) assembly comprising a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) array and a U-turn chip. The SOA array includes an input SOA and a plurality of SOAs. The input SOA and the plurality of SOAs are arranged parallel to one another. The U-turn chip includes an optical splitter and a waveguide assembly. The optical splitter is configured to receive amplified input light propagating in a first direction from the input SOA, and divide the amplified light into beams. The waveguide assembly guides the beams to a corresponding SOA of the plurality of SOAs, and adjusts a direction of prorogation of each of the guided beams to be substantially parallel to a second direction that is substantially opposite the first direction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining object motion and controlling autonomous vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a computing system includes processor(s) and one or more tangible, non-transitory, computer readable media that collectively store instructions that when executed by the processor(s) cause the computing system to perform operations. The operations include obtaining data associated with a first object and one or more second objects within a surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle. The operations include determining an interaction between the first object and the one or more second objects based at least in part on the data. The operations include determining one or more predicted trajectories of the first object within the surrounding environment based at least in part on the interaction between the first object and the one or more second objects. The operations include outputting data indicative of the one or more predicted trajectories of the first object.
