Abstract: A system that performs a method is disclosed. The system detects one or more characteristics about a vehicle via a first set of one or more sensors and determines one or more characteristics about the vehicle's surroundings via a second set of one or more sensors. The system also detects a vehicle failure via the first set of one or more sensors. In response to detecting the vehicle failure via the first one or more sensors, the system selects one or more road hazard indicators using the one or more characteristics about the vehicle's surroundings. After selecting the one or more road hazard indicators using the one or more characteristics about the vehicle's surroundings, the system deploys the one or more road hazard indicators.

Abstract: A charging station can be autonomously coupled to an electric vehicle. Sensors on the vehicle determine a location of the vehicle, and the vehicle is positioned within a connection envelope. A travel path for bringing a charging connector into contact with a charging port on the vehicle can be determined, and then the travel path is autonomously carried out. A charging station may include a mount, a bracket, and a charging connection.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure are directed to using vehicle users' subjective evaluation of autonomous vehicle performance to adjust operation of one or more autonomous vehicle systems, such as an adaptive cruise control system. In some examples, a vehicle can perform an autonomous maneuver, and can use automotive sensors to collect data describing one or more quantitative aspects of that vehicle during the maneuver, such as make, model, GPS coordinates, mileage, speed, engine activity, or LIDAR data, among other possibilities. In some examples, a control system can receive subjective feedback inputted by the vehicle's user that indicates one or more qualitative evaluations of the completed autonomous maneuver. In some examples, a control system may perform statistical analysis of collected vehicle data and of subjective feedback input by vehicle users to identify correlations between quantitative vehicle parameters, specified types of user feedback and/or autonomous vehicle maneuvers.

Abstract: A vehicle is disclosed. The vehicle includes a first indicator light associated with a first function or a first state of the vehicle (e.g., a brake light), and circuitry coupled to the first indicator light. The circuitry is configured to cause the first indicator light to emit light when the vehicle is performing the first function or is operating in the first state, and detect an amount of light incident on the first indicator light. Thus, the indicator light can be used to detect incoming light to perform various vehicle functions (e.g., automatically dimming mirrors based on the incoming light) without the need for a dedicated light sensor.

Abstract: A vehicle includes one or more dimmable mirrors, one or more cameras configured to capture images of surroundings of the vehicle, and one or more processors coupled to the one or more dimmable mirrors and the one or more cameras. The one or more processors are configured to identify one or more headlights of another vehicle in the captured images, determine whether the one or more headlights satisfy mirror dimming criteria, including a criterion that is satisfied when the one or more headlights are located in a respective region of the captured images, in accordance with a determination that the one or more headlights satisfy the mirror dimming criteria, dim the dimmable mirrors based on one or more characteristics of the one or more headlights, and in accordance with a determination that the one or more headlights do not satisfy the mirror dimming criteria, forgo dimming the dimmable mirrors.
