    摘要: Systems and methods for vehicle spatial path sampling are provided. The method includes obtaining an initial travel path for an autonomous vehicle from a first location to a second location and vehicle configuration data indicative of one or more physical constraints of the autonomous vehicle. The method includes determining one or more secondary travel paths for the autonomous vehicle from the first location to the second location based on the initial travel path and the vehicle configuration data. The method includes generating a spatial envelope based on the one or more secondary travel paths that indicates a plurality of lateral offsets from the initial travel path. And, the method includes generating a plurality of trajectories for the autonomous vehicle to travel from the first location to the second location such that each of the plurality of trajectories include one or more lateral offsets identified by the spatial envelope.

    摘要: Systems and methods related to controlling an autonomous vehicle (“AV”) are described herein. Implementations can process actor(s) from a past episode of locomotion of a vehicle, and stream(s) in an environment of the vehicle during the past episode to generate predicted output(s). The actor(s) may each be associated with a corresponding object in the environment of the vehicle, and the stream(s) may each represent candidate navigation paths in the environment of the vehicle. Further, implementations can process the predicted output(s) to generate further predicted output(s), and can compare the predicted output(s) to associated reference label(s). The processing can be performed utilizing layer(s) or distinct, additional layer(s) of machine learning (“ML”) model(s). Implementations can update the layer(s) or the additional layer(s) based on the comparing, and subsequently use the ML model(s) in controlling the AV.

    摘要: A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) device includes a first wafer layer, a laser assembly disposed on the first wafer layer, a capping layer, a second wafer layer, and a photonic integrated circuit (PIC). The capping layer is coupled to the first wafer layer and configured to seal the laser assembly. The second wafer layer is at least partially coupled to the first wafer layer. The PIC is formed on the second wafer layer. The second wafer includes an exit feature configured to outcouple laser light from the laser assembly.

    摘要: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for locating a vehicle. A pose state estimator may access a previous position for the vehicle at a first time, wherein the previous position is on a first sub-map of a plurality of sub-maps. The pose state estimator may receive from a first localizer a first position estimate for the vehicle at a second time after the first time. The first position estimate may be on a second sub-map of the plurality of sub-maps. The pose state estimator may send to a second localizer a sub-map change message indicating the second sub-map.
