Abstract: Among other things, a signal is emitted from a signaling device and is captured by stimulus detectors location on a vehicle, including an autonomous vehicle. Properties of the signal are analyzed, potentially in concert with other information, to determine the precise location of the signaling device and therefore the precise goal location for picking up a rider of the autonomous vehicle. In response to the calculation of the precise goal location, the autonomous vehicle attempts to travel to a location as near as possible to the precise goal location to facilitate entry of the rider into the vehicle.

Abstract: An autonomous bus includes sensors and actuators sufficient to perform autonomous navigation. The controller of the bus receives a route and proceeds to pick-up locations along the route. A camera having an external region around a door in its field of view evaluates whether an individual matching recognition information of an intended passenger is present. If so, a door actuator permits entry of the individual and entry of the individual is verified. If the individual does not enter or another individual enters, an alert may be generated and the controller may refrain from moving. During transit noise levels and levels of stress chemicals may be monitored. Where noise or stress chemicals indicate a problem, an alert may be generated.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a seat mount, and a luggage compartment. The instrument panel has a steering-wheel opening. The luggage compartment is attachable to the seat mount and covers the steering-wheel opening when attached to the seat mount. The luggage compartment may be used when the vehicle is fully autonomous and/or may equip the vehicle that may have originally been built for nonautonomous or semiautonomous operation into a fully autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: A transport arrangement system operates to receive a transport request from a user, and to make a selection of a vehicle type for the user based at least in part on a set of criteria associated with the transport request or user information. For example, the determination of whether an autonomous vehicle is to be provided can be based at least in part on the destination specified with the transport request.

Abstract: A system performs operations including receiving pairs of sensor signals indicative of imaging of an environment, each pair of sensor signals including (i) a first sensor signal received from a first sensor and including first spatial coordinates and a first signal characteristic and (ii) a second sensor signal including second spatial coordinates and a second signal characteristic. The operations include identifying valid pairs of sensor signals, including determining that an address including the first coordinates of the first sensor signal of a given pair and the second coordinates of the second sensor signal of the given pair corresponds to an admissible address in a set of admissible addresses stored in a data storage. The operations include identifying, from among the valid pairs of sensor signals, pairs of sensor signals that satisfy a threshold, including determining that a value based on a combination of the first signal characteristic of a given pair and the second signal characteristic of the given pair satisfies a threshold value. The operations include generating a representation of a target in the environment based on the identified pairs of sensor signals that satisfy the threshold.

Abstract: A plurality of segments of a predetermined route are identified based on a plurality of transition points. A setting of at least one of a plurality of vehicle subsystems is adjusted according to an assigned operating mode when a vehicle enters one of the segments. The vehicle subsystems are actuated according to the assigned operating mode. The assigned operating mode is one of a plurality of operating modes. Each operating mode includes at least one predetermined setting for each one of the vehicle subsystems. The predetermined settings are defined according to data collected from operation of the vehicle in the route by a user.

Abstract: A system for determining and executing an autonomous-vehicle vehicle travel route, including a hardware-based processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The storage medium includes an input-interface module that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, obtains factor data indicating factors relevant to determining a vehicle travel route. The storage medium also includes a route-generation module comprising a route-complexity sub-module. The route-complexity sub-module determines, based on the factor data, route-complexity indexes corresponding to respective optional routes. The route-generation module determines the vehicle travel route based on the route-complexity indexes. The storage in various embodiments includes other sub-modules associated with other elements, such as autonomous-driving safety, comfort, stress, pollution, scenery, or infrastructure-accessibility, for determining and executing an autonomous-driving travel route. In some embodiments, the storage includes an autonomous-driving perceptions module and an autonomous-driving control module for modifying vehicle functions in executing the autonomous-driving travel route.
