Abstract: Sensor data collected from an autonomous vehicle can be labeled using sensor data collected from an additional vehicle. Labeled sensor data can generate targeted testing instances for a trained machine learning model, where the trained machine learning model is used in generating control signals for an autonomous vehicle. In many implementations, targeted training instances can generate an accuracy value for the trained neural network model. Additionally or alternatively, the sensor suite on the additional vehicle can include a removable hardware pod which can be mounted on a variety of vehicles.

Abstract: In various examples, at least partial control of a vehicle may be transferred to a control system remote from the vehicle. Sensor data may be received from a sensor(s) of the vehicle and the sensor data may be encoded to generate encoded sensor data. The encoded sensor data may be transmitted to the control system for display on a virtual reality headset of the control system. Control data may be received by the vehicle and from the control system that may be representative of a control input(s) from the control system, and actuation by an actuation component(s) of the vehicle may be caused based on the control input.

Abstract: A system and method for navigating a vehicle automatically from a current location to a destination location without a human operator is disclosed. The method includes identifying a vehicle location using global positioning system (GPS) data regarding the vehicle. Also included is identifying that the vehicle location is near or at a parking location. Then, using mapping data defined for the parking location. The mapping data at least in part is used to find a path at the parking location to avoid a collision of the vehicle with at least one physical structure when the vehicle is automatically moved at the parking location. The method includes instructing the electronics of the vehicle to proceed with controlling the vehicle to automatically move from the current location to the destination location at the parking location. The electronics use as input at least part of the mapping data and sensor data collected from around the vehicle by at least two vehicle sensors. The path is configured to be updatable dynamically based on changes in the destination location or changes along the path. The destination location is a parking spot for the vehicle at the parking location.

Abstract: A vehicle policy server maintains a set of policies for constraining operations of one or more remote vehicles. The policies may specify areas, locations, or routes that specified vehicles are restricted from accessing based on a set of acquired information. An application programming interface (API) enables programmatic updates of the policies or related information. Policies may be enforced by transmitting control signals fully or in part to onboard vehicle computers or to a teleoperation support module providing remote support to the vehicles using human teleoperators and/or artificial intelligence agents. The control signals may directly control the vehicles or teleoperation, or may cause a navigation system to present known restrictions in a suitable fashion such as generating an augmented reality display or mapping overlays.

Abstract: A communication management device (10) estimates communication quality between a control device (30) mounted on a moving object (70) and a driving assistance device (20) to provide a driving assistance service for the control device (30), at a scheduled time when the moving object (70) passes through a communication area, which includes a scheduled path where the moving object (70) passes. The communication management device (10) notifies the driving assistance device (20) when the communication quality is outside a range of quality being a standard. When it is notified, the driving assistance device (20) changes the driving assistance service to be provided for the control device (30).

Abstract: The invention provides a technology for suppressing a delay in communication between a plurality of cores that perform parallel processing. In the invention, an ECU 302 of a vehicle control system 2 includes a plurality of cores 401 and a shared memory 405. When transmitting data in the inter-core communication, a transmission side core 401-1 writes a counter value updated according to the data and a writing order to a buffer unit 901 which is determined by a counter value managed for each communication system, which is stored in each of the plurality of buffer units 901 provided in the shared memory 405. When receiving data in the inter-core communication, a reception side core 401-2 reads data from the buffer unit 901 in which the latest data for each communication system is stored, which is determined by the counter value stored in each of the plurality of buffer units 901.
