Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems (sensors) that allow revision of HD maps for lane lines as the lane lines are created. In a non-limiting example, a method comprises receiving, by a processor from a sensor associated with a vehicle configured to paint a lane line, a color attribute, a patterns attribute, and a location of a lane line painted on a road by the vehicle; determining, by the processor, using the location received from the sensor, whether the road has an existing lane line; and revising, by the processor, a high definition map associated with at least one autonomous vehicle by removing the existing lane line from the high definition map and inserting the lane line in the high definition map.

Abstract: Systems and methods for training and executing machine learning models to generate lane index values are disclosed. A method includes identifying a set of image data captured by at least one autonomous vehicle when the at least autonomous vehicle is positioned in a lane of a roadway and respective ground truth localization data; determining a plurality of lane index values for the set of image data based on the ground truth localization data; labeling the set of image data with the plurality of lane index values, the lane index values representing a number of lanes from a leftmost or rightmost lane to the lane in which the at least one autonomous vehicle was positioned; and training, using the labeled set of image data, a plurality of machine learning models that generate a left lane index value and a right lane index value as output.

Abstract: Fluid release detection is provided. A vehicle can determine, via a first sensor, a flow rate of a first fluid, such as a headspace gas, between an environment and a reservoir of the vehicle. The vehicle can receive a fluid consumption rate for a second fluid, such as a hydrocarbon fuel associated with the reservoir. The vehicle can detect, based on the flow rate and the fluid consumption rate, a fluid release of the reservoir. The vehicle can execute an action responsive to the detection of the fluid release.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method of fusing sensor data from a plurality of sensors is provided. The method comprises identifying first and second sensor data from first and second sensors of the plurality of sensors, respectively, extracting first and second features from the first and second sensor data, respectively, and converting the first and second features to first and second BEV projections of the first and second features, respectively. The method further comprises implementing a spatial transform network that aligns the second BEV projection with the first BEV projection, and generating a fused feature map comprising the aligned second BEV projection and the first BEV projection.

Abstract: Embodiments herein include systems and methods of generating lane selection cost values to control autonomous vehicles to accommodate merging vehicles in a tapering lane (or merge lane). An autonomy system can identify a tapering lane in map data and detect a merging vehicle situated in the tapering lane using perception sensor data. The autonomy system includes a lane-selection cost function that generates lane-selection cost values for the lanes available to the automated vehicle, which the autonomy system references to determine whether to continue traveling a current lane or change lanes into an adjacent lane. The lane-selection cost function may apply a courtesy weight when detecting the merging vehicle, such that the autonomy system causes the automated vehicle to change lanes as a courtesy to the merging vehicle, but without overriding other safety-related factors of the lane-selection cost function or trajectory planning functions.
