    Abstract: A system for determining and executing an autonomous-vehicle vehicle travel route, including a hardware-based processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The storage medium includes an input-interface module that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, obtains factor data indicating factors relevant to determining a vehicle travel route. The storage medium also includes a route-generation module comprising a route-complexity sub-module. The route-complexity sub-module determines, based on the factor data, route-complexity indexes corresponding to respective optional routes. The route-generation module determines the vehicle travel route based on the route-complexity indexes. The storage in various embodiments includes other sub-modules associated with other elements, such as autonomous-driving safety, comfort, stress, pollution, scenery, or infrastructure-accessibility, for determining and executing an autonomous-driving travel route. In some embodiments, the storage includes an autonomous-driving perceptions module and an autonomous-driving control module for modifying vehicle functions in executing the autonomous-driving travel route.

    Abstract: A portable system, for use in projecting proprietary host-data-based output to a host device using a dual-layer proprietary-data-provision arrangement including the host device and portable system. A storage component includes one or more first-layer components, of the dual-layer proprietary-data-provision arrangement, that, when executed by a hardware-based processing unit, communicates with the host device by a first wired communication channel or a first short-range wireless communication channel to receive the proprietary host data from the host device. The storage also includes a portable-system application that, when executed, generates, based on the proprietary host data, proprietary host-data-based app output. And the storage includes one or more second-layer components, of the arrangement, that, when executed, communicate with the host device by a second wired communication channel or a second short-range wireless communication channel to provide the proprietary host-data-based app output to the host device for rendering at the host device.

    Abstract: Systems and method are provided for participative map anomaly detection and correction. In one embodiment, a processor-implemented method for map anomaly detection is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor in a vehicle, pre-planned trajectory data from a navigation module in the vehicle, retrieving, by the processor, sensor data from one or more vehicle sensing systems, analyzing, by the processor, the sensor data and the pre-planned trajectory data, identifying, by the processor, an anomaly from the analysis, and transmitting information regarding the anomaly to a central repository external to the vehicle wherein the central repository is configured to analyze the information regarding the anomaly to determine if a navigation map attribute is incorrect.

    Abstract: A multi-modal projection system, such as a smartphone, a wearable, or a generic universal-serial-bus-class (generic USB-class), for use in projecting device output via a host apparatus, such as a transportation vehicle. The system includes a hardware-based processing unit (processor), and a base data-processing resource needed by each of a plurality of interface components to generate the output to be projected via the host apparatus. The system includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage component having the interface components that, when executed by the processing unit, generate the output to be projected via the host apparatus. The storage component further includes a plurality of virtual data-processing components being virtual representations of the base data-processing resource. The storage component further includes a mapping module that, when executed, controls access for the interface components to the base data-processing component by way of the virtual data-processing components. Non-transitory computer-readable storage devices, methods performed by the structure described.

    Abstract: A portable or embedded system including a hardware-based processing unit and a non-transitory storage device. The storage device includes a vehicle-context module that, via the hardware-based processing unit, obtains vehicle-context data, and includes an application-manager module that, via the hardware-based processing unit, obtains application data relating to an application at a host device. The storage device also includes a policy engine that, via the hardware-based processing unit, determines, based on the vehicle-context data and the application data received, a corresponding policy to be effected at the host device, and an output module that, via the hardware-based processing unit, sends to the host-device a communication indicating a host-device action, corresponding to the policy determined, for affecting host-device operation according to the host-device action. The technology also includes the storage device and methods for performing the referenced functions.
