Abstract: A method for operating an autonomous vehicle includes detecting an environment of the autonomous vehicle using a sensor system positioned in at least in one direction of travel in front of the autonomous vehicle, wherein data of the environment is made available to a computing unit, wherein a trajectory of a vehicle driving ahead driving back and forth over a plurality of lanes of a multi-lane roadway is tracked by the sensor system and/or the computing unit. The method includes recognizing that the vehicle in front is an emergency vehicle and identifying when a movement pattern in the trajectory is detected which persists over a period of more than 20 seconds where the emergency vehicle drives back and forth over a plurality of lanes. The driving behavior of the autonomous vehicle is adapted to drive at a distance behind the emergency vehicle and stop when the emergency vehicle stops.

Abstract: A method may include monitoring, by a processor associated with an autonomous vehicle, a status of a traffic light. The method may include monitoring, by the processor, a movement status of at least one vehicle within a same lane as the autonomous vehicle, the at least one vehicle having a stationary position in relation to the traffic light. The method may include executing, by the processor, a computer model to predict a change of movement status for the at least one vehicle in accordance with the status of the traffic light. The method may include in response to the computer model predicting a change of movement status for the at least one vehicle from the stationary position to a moving status, instructing, by the processor, the autonomous vehicle to increase a torque value of the autonomous vehicle at a predetermined time before the change of the movement status.

Abstract: Systems and methods of generating lane selection cost maps to control autonomous vehicles are disclosed. An autonomous vehicle system can receive a plurality of cost values from a plurality of components of an autonomous vehicle; generate a lane selection cost map based on the plurality of cost values; determining that the autonomous vehicle should change lanes based on the lane selection cost map; and transmit a command that causes the autonomous vehicle to change lanes responsive to determining that the autonomous vehicle should change lanes.

Abstract: Trailer detection is provided. An autonomous vehicle can cause a first transceiver thereof to convey a signal to energize a second transceiver coupled to a trailer. The autonomous vehicle can receive, from the second transceiver, first information associated with the trailer, the first information comprising an indication of a trailer wheelbase.

Abstract: Detection of trailer dynamic parameters is provided. A vehicle can receive a geometry of a plurality of points of support disposed along a longitudinal axis of the trailer. The vehicle can determine a center of mass of the trailer based on the plurality of points of support and weights bearing down thereupon. The vehicle can bound or otherwise determine, based on the geometry of the plurality of points of support and the center of mass, a moment of inertia of the trailer about at least one of the plurality of points of support. The vehicle can perform a navigational action based on the moment of inertia or center of mass.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle can include a horn; a sensor(s) configured to capture images; and one or more processors. The one or more processors can be configured to receive a sequence of images from the sensor(s), the sequence of images captured by the sensor(s) as the autonomous vehicle was moving; execute a machine learning model using the sequence of images as input to detect a human inside a second vehicle or in the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle depicted within the sequence of images; determine, based on the detection of the human inside the second vehicle or in the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle within the sequence of images, the human is depicted performing a defined arm gesture within the sequence of images; and activate the horn responsive to the determination that the human is depicted performing the defined arm gesture within the sequence of images.

Abstract: Systems and methods of predicting a grade of a road upon which a vehicle is traveling are disclosed. An autonomous vehicle system can receive sensor data from a sensor measuring a response from at least one mechanical component of the autonomous vehicle as the autonomous vehicle navigates a road; detect a speed of the autonomous vehicle; determine a predicted grade of the road based on the sensor data and the speed; and navigate the autonomous vehicle based on the predicted grade of the road.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle comprises a sensor and one or more processors. The one or more processors can be configured to receive a set of object location data from the sensor, the set of object location data indicating an object; generate a measured representation of the object based on the set of object location data; execute a tracking protocol using data of the measured representation of the object as input to generate a virtual representation of the object, the virtual representation of the object comprising a virtual point that is nearest to a defined location of the autonomous vehicle; and translate the virtual point of the virtual representation of the object to a measured point of the measured representation of the object.
