    Abstract: A self-driving vehicle (SDV) can operate by analyzing sensor data to autonomously control acceleration, braking, and steering systems of the SDV along a current route. The SDV includes a number of sensors generating the sensor data and a control system to detect conditions relating to the operation of the SDV, such as vehicle speed and local weather, select a set of sensors based on the detected conditions, and prioritize the sensor data generated from the selected set of sensors to control aspects relating to the operation of the SDV.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for repositioning light electric vehicles are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a computing system, sensor data from one or more sensors located onboard an autonomous light electric vehicle, determining, by the computing system, one or more navigational instructions to reposition the autonomous light electric vehicle based at least in part on the sensor data, and causing, by the computing system, the autonomous light electric vehicle to initiate travel based at least in part on the one or more navigational instructions. The one or more navigational instructions can be one or more navigational instructions associated with repositioning the autonomous light electric vehicle at a light electric vehicle designated parking location, a light electric vehicle charging station, a light electric vehicle collection point, a light electric vehicle rider location, or a light electric vehicle supply positioning location.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for clustering autonomous light electric vehicles are provided. A method can include obtaining, by a computing system, data indicative of a respective location for each of a plurality of autonomous light electric vehicles; determining, by the computing system, at least a subset of the plurality of autonomous light electric vehicles to cluster within a geographic area based at least in part on the data indicative of the respective location for each of the plurality of autonomous light electric vehicles; determining, by the computing system, a point autonomous light electric vehicle and one or more follower autonomous light electric vehicles based at least in part on one or more properties of the subset of the autonomous light electric vehicles; and controlling, by the computing system, each of the follower autonomous light electric vehicles to within a threshold distance of the point autonomous light electric vehicle.

    Abstract: An image processing system for a vehicle can include a set of cameras generating image data of a surrounding environment of the vehicle, and a masking layer comprising a plurality of pixels. The system can detect, in first image data generated by the set of cameras, one or more light sources in a field of view of a respective camera of the set of cameras. The system can then activate a number of pixels of the masking layer to block each of the one or more light sources for the respective camera, preemptively bolstering a quality of second image data generated by the set of cameras while the masking layer blocks each of the one or more light sources.

    Abstract: An intelligent lens masking system for a camera array of an autonomous vehicle (AV) can include an array interface to receive real-time data from the camera array as the AV travels along a given route, where each camera of the camera array may include a masking layer on its lens. The intelligent lens masking system can dynamically identify, in the real-time data, a number of light sources in the field of view for each respective camera in the camera array. Once the light source(s) for the respective camera is detected, the intelligent lens masking system can dynamically block the lights source(s) for the respective camera by activating a number of pixels of the masking layer.
