Abstract: A vehicle can receive audio data indicating speech from a citizens band (CB) radio channel. The vehicle can determine a location corresponding to information in the speech. The vehicle can determine an event corresponding to the location based on the information in the speech. The vehicle can automatically adjust operation according to the event and the location.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems to avoid collisions with animals. In an example, a method comprises receiving, by a processor, an indication that a current trajectory of an autonomous vehicle is associated with a likelihood of a collision that satisfies a collision threshold indicating a potential collision with an animal having an attribute that satisfies a threshold; disabling, by the processor, at least one lighting apparatus associated with the autonomous vehicle; and enabling, by the processor, a sound-generating device associated with the autonomous vehicle.

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: 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: A method of providing information around road based events through autonomous vehicles. The method describes how a system can maintain or upload information around a digital map indicating locations of events detected. The system can react to updated events to affect route planning, biasing and lane selection. The system can transmit updated map information to various road users including other autonomous vehicles.
