    Abstract: Sensor data captured at by different sensors may be shared across different sensor processing pipelines. Sensor processing pipelines may process captured sensor data from respective sensors. Some of the sensor data that is received or processed at one sensor data processing pipeline may be provided to another sensor data processing pipeline so that subsequent processing stages at the recipient sensor processing pipeline may process the combined sensor data in order to determine a perception decision. Different types of sensor data may be shared, including raw sensor data, processed sensor data, or data derived from sensor data. A control system may perform control actions based on the perception decisions determined by the sensor processing pipelines that share sensor data.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for testing a peripheral in accordance with a MIPI protocol are provided. A test system can test a peripheral by providing user-5 specified control over a test processor (which is substantially the same processor the peripheral will interface with when installed) to test, calibrate, or both test and calibrate the peripheral. The test processor can communicate with the peripheral according 10 to the MIPI protocol, thereby effectively providing an actual “in-device” environment for testing and/or calibrating the peripheral.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and a display. A display driver integrated circuit in the display may have a spectrum analyzer circuit. An antenna may monitor for wireless signals. The display driver integrated circuit may use the spectrum analyzer circuit to analyze the wireless signals and determine whether there is a potential for visible display artifacts. In the presence of conditions that can lead to display artifacts, the display driver integrated circuit may adjust a gate driver control signal. Adjustments to the gate driver control signal may be made using adjustable signal dividers. The adjustments to the gate driver control signal eliminate the visible display artifacts.

    Abstract: Methods and devices employing circuitry for reducing power usage of a touch-sensitive display are provided. In one example, a method for reducing power usage of a touch-sensitive display may include receiving power for the display of an electronic device. The method may also include powering a touch subsystem and a display subsystem of the display. The method may include, in a standard display mode, receiving synchronization signals at a first rate. A frame of data is stored on pixels of the display subsystem between each synchronization signal. The method may also include, in a low power display mode, receiving synchronization signals at a second rate. The second rate is less than the first rate. The method may include detecting a touch of the display via the touch subsystem between each synchronization signal.

    Abstract: An autonomous navigation system which enables autonomous navigation of a vehicle along one or more portions of a driving route based on monitoring, at the vehicle, various features of the route as the vehicle is manually navigated along the route to develop a characterization of the route. The characterization is progressively updated with repeated manual navigations along the route, and autonomous navigation of the route is enabled when a confidence indicator of the characterization meets a threshold indication. Characterizations can be updated in response to the vehicle encountering changes in the route and can include a set of driving rules associated with the route, where the driving rules are developed based on monitoring the navigation of one or more vehicles of the route. Characterizations can be uploaded to a remote system which processes data to develop and refine route characterizations and provide characterizations to one or more vehicles.
