Abstract: The disclosure is directed to classifying weather conditions using cameras and/or other sensors on a vehicle. The system can detect one or more weather conditions, such as a sunny sky, a cloudy sky, rain, lighting, thunderstorms, hail, snow, windy conditions, and darkness. The vehicle can account for the one or more weather conditions by dynamically and/or automatically modifying the vehicle's route, vehicle's mode(s) of operation, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the vehicle can automatically seek or suggest an alternate route; move the sun visor, sunroof, or window blind(s); change the temperature of a portion of the interior compartment; suggest a place to stop; automatically change the headlight intensity; activate fog lights and/or turn off high beams, change the distance from other vehicles; activate the electronic stability program, windshield wipers, and/or defroster; change the dynamics of driving; and/or change one or more thresholds.

Abstract: Various techniques related to a sensor for use with autonomous driving and/or navigation of a vehicle. The techniques can include use of an elongated threaded member, an intermediate threaded member, and a tertiary member. The members can be operable to extend or retract a vehicle sensor on a platform. The members can also enable the sensor to retract upon application of a force external to the vehicle.

Abstract: A first vehicle comprising one or more sensors configured to sense one or more characteristics of surroundings of the first vehicle, one or more cameras configured to capture images of the surroundings of the first vehicle, and one or more processors coupled to the one or more sensors and the one or more cameras. The one or more processors are configured to identify a second vehicle as a distressed vehicle using outputs from at least one of the one or more sensors and the one or more cameras, determine one or more trouble items associated with the distressed vehicle, and in response to determining the one or more trouble items, perform a set of one or more actions to assist the distressed vehicle based on the determined one or more trouble items.
