    Abstract: Systems and methods of automatic correction of map data for autonomous vehicle navigation are disclosed. An autonomous vehicle system can receive first sensor data from a first sensor of an autonomous vehicle and second sensor data from a second sensor of the autonomous vehicle, the first sensor data and the second sensor data captured during operation of the autonomous vehicle; generate, based on the first sensor data, a first prediction of a dimension of a lane of a road; generate, based on the second sensor data, a second prediction of a position of the autonomous vehicle within the lane of the road; determine a confidence value for the second prediction of the position of the autonomous vehicle within the lane of the road based on the first prediction and the second prediction; and navigate the autonomous vehicle based on the confidence value.

    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle including a Kalman filter error recovery system is disclosed. The Kalman filter error recovery system includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the Kalman filter error recovery system to perform operations including increasing eigenvalues of a covariance matrix to adjust probability distribution of a state vector error due to unmodelled process noise in measurements from one or more position sensors, and returning the state covariance to a diagonal state to perform a dynamic covariance reset.

    Abstract: An energy supply station can include a mechanical arm, an energy delivery receptacle, and one or more processors. The processors can be configured to detect an arrival of a vehicle at the energy supply station; transmit an indication of the arrival to a remote computer, causing activation of a virtual interface; and move the mechanical arm, based on input at the virtual interface, to cause the energy delivery receptacle to contact or couple with an energy input receptacle of the vehicle.

    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle including a microphone array of a plurality of microphones, a visual sensor network configured to receive visual signals, at least one processor, and at least one memory storing instructions is disclosed. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: (i) generate spatial beamforming maps locating a sound source using a beamforming model corresponding to acoustic signals received at the plurality of microphones of the microphone array; (ii) apply a synthetic aperture expansion to the acoustic signals to increase resolution of the spatial beamforming maps; and (iii) generate feature maps for an application in autonomous vehicle driving by combining the improved spatial beamforming maps with visualization maps generated based on the visual signals received by the visual sensor network.

    Abstract: Aspects of this technical solution can include a method of calibration of a inertial navigation system of a vehicle. The method can include obtaining, from a first vehicle at a second vehicle by a communication interface coupled with the first vehicle and the second vehicle, with first data indicating a direction of gravity relative to a physical orientation of the first vehicle. The method can include obtaining, from the first vehicle at the second vehicle by the communication interface, with second data of the first vehicle indicating the physical orientation of the first vehicle, during movement of the first vehicle caused by the second vehicle. And the method can include generating, at the second vehicle during the movement of the first vehicle and based on the first data and the second data, third data corresponding to a calibration of the physical orientation of the first vehicle.

    Abstract: A system can receive audio data indicating speech from a citizens band (CB) radio channel. The system can determine a location corresponding to first information in the speech. The system can determine an event at the location based on the first information. The system can predict one or more autonomous vehicles that have a path including the location. The system can transmit second information containing the event and the location to the one or more autonomous vehicles. The second information can cause the one or more autonomous vehicles to adjust operation according to the event and the location.

    Abstract: Embodiments include systems and methods for determining states of traffic lights and managing behavior of an automated vehicle approaching an intersection. An autonomy system applies an object recognition engine trained to recognize a traffic light, and identify and confirm the state of the traffic light. A first neural network trained for object detection recognizes a traffic light and defines a bounding box around the recognized traffic light. A second neural network receives the region of the image bounded by the box as constituting the traffic light and “reads” the light. The automated vehicle uses other information, such as states of pedestrian traffic lights, detection of objects in and near the intersection, and glare on one or more cameras, to supplement its determination of the right of way through the intersection. The autonomy system generates a driving instruction based on the traffic light combined.
