    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system for detecting whether a road on which a host vehicle travels is a one-way road may include at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive at least one image associated with an environment of the host vehicle, identify a first plurality of vehicles on a first side of the road, identify a second plurality of vehicles on a second side of the road, determine a first facing direction associated with the first plurality of vehicles, determine a second facing direction associated with the second plurality of vehicles, and cause at least one navigational change of the host vehicle when the first facing direction and the second facing direction are both opposite to a heading direction of the host vehicle.

    Abstract: An imaging system for a vehicle may include a first image capture device having a first field of view and configured to acquire a first image relative to a scene associated with the vehicle, the first image being acquired as a first series of image scan lines captured using a rolling shutter. The imaging system may also include a second image capture device having a second field of view different from the first field of view and that at least partially overlaps the first field of view, the second image capture device being configured to acquire a second image relative to the scene associated with the vehicle, the second image being acquired as a second series of image scan lines captured using a rolling shutter. As a result of overlap between the first field of view and the second field of view, a first overlap portion of the first image corresponds with a second overlap portion of the second image. The first image capture device has a first scan rate associated with acquisition of the first series of image scan lines that is different from a second scan rate associated with acquisition of the second series of image scan lines, such that the first image capture device acquires the first overlap portion of the first image over a period of time during which the second overlap portion of the second image is acquired.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system for navigating a host vehicle based on detecting a door opening event may include at least one processing device. The processing device may be programmed to receive at least one image associated with the environment of the host vehicle, analyze the at least one image to identify a side of a parked vehicle, identify a first structural feature of the parked vehicle and a second structural feature of the parked vehicle, identify a door edge of the parked vehicle in a vicinity of the first and second structural features, determine a change of an image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle, and alter a navigational path of the host vehicle based at least in part on the change of the image characteristic of the door edge of the parked vehicle.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining a road surface characteristic. In one implementation, a system includes at least one processing device programmed to receive, from at least one camera, at least two images representative of an environment of a vehicle; align at least a portion of the at least two images using estimated motion of the vehicle; provide, to a trained system configured to determine a characteristic of the road surface, at least the aligned portions of the at least two images; receive, from the trained system, the determined characteristic of the road surface; and provide, to a vehicle control system, based on at least the determined characteristic of the road surface, control information for changing at least one setting of the vehicle control system.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for navigating an autonomous vehicle. In one implementation, a system includes a processing device programmed to receive a plurality of images representative of an environment of the host vehicle. The environment includes a road on which the host vehicle is traveling. The at least one processing device is further programmed to analyze the images to identify a target vehicle traveling in a lane of the road different from a lane in which the host vehicle is traveling; analyze the images to identify a lane mark associated with the lane in which the target vehicle is traveling; detect lane mark characteristics of the identified lane mark; use the detected lane mark characteristics to determine a type of the identified lane mark; determine a characteristic of the target vehicle; and determine a navigational action for the host vehicle based on the determined lane mark type and the determined characteristic of the target vehicle.
