    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to detecting the edges of lane lines. Specifically, a vehicle driving on a roadway may use a laser to collect data for the roadway. A computer may process the data received from the laser in order to extract the points which potentially reside on two lane lines defining a lane. The extracted points are used by the computer to determine a model of a left lane edge and a right lane edge for the lane. The model may be used to estimate a centerline between the two lane lines. All or some of the model and centerline estimates, may be used to maneuver a vehicle in real time and also to update or generate map information used to maneuver vehicles.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed related to autonomous vehicle applications for selecting destinations. A control system of an autonomous vehicle can determine a status of the autonomous vehicle. The control system can determine a possible destination of the autonomous vehicle. The control system can generate and provide a hint related to the possible destination based on the status of the autonomous vehicle. The control system can receive input related to the hint. Based on the input, the control system can determine whether to navigate the autonomous vehicle to the possible destination. After determining to navigate the autonomous vehicle to the possible destination, the control system can direct the autonomous vehicle to travel to the possible destination.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to detecting road weather conditions. Vehicle sensors including a laser, precipitation sensors, and/or camera may be used to detect information such as the brightness of the road, variations in the brightness of the road, brightness of the world, current precipitation, as well as the detected height of the road. Information received from other sources such as networked based weather information (forecasts, radar, precipitation reports, etc.) may also be considered. The combination of the received and detected information may be used to estimate the probability of precipitation such as water, snow or ice in the roadway. This information may then be used to maneuver an autonomous vehicle (for steering, accelerating, or braking) or identify dangerous situations.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate generally to methods and systems for improving object detection and classification. An example system may include a perception system and a feedback system. The perception system may be configured to receive data indicative of a surrounding environment of a vehicle, and to classify one or more portions of the data as representative of a type of object based on parameters associated with a machine learning classifier. The feedback system may be configured to request feedback regarding a classification of an object by the perception system based on a confidence level associated with the classification being below a threshold, and to cause the parameters associated with the machine classifier to be modified based on information provided in response to the request.
