Abstract: Methods and vehicles may be configured to gain experience in the form of state-action and/or action-observation histories for an operational scenario as the vehicle traverses a vehicle transportation network. The histories may be incorporated into a model in the form of learning to improve the model over time. The learning may be used to improve integration with human behavior. Driver feedback may be used in the learning examples to improve future performance and to integrate with human behavior. The learning may be used to create customized scenario solutions. The learning may be used to transfer a learned solution and apply the learned solution to a similar scenario.

Abstract: Distance and object based external notification system for automated hailing service is described. An autonomous vehicle (AV) can include a processor configured to execute instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium to detect, based on sensor information, an object within the AV; determine that the object belongs to a recent occupant of the AV; and, in response to the determining that the object belongs to the recent occupant of the AV, select, based on a proximity of the recent occupant to the AV, a notification modality for sending a message to the recent occupant regarding the object; and send the message using the notification modality.

Abstract: Exception handing, such as of obstruction situations, by an autonomous vehicle (AV) is disclosed. A method includes identifying an exception situation; identifying a risk associated with autonomously resolving the exception situation; and in response to the risk exceeding a risk threshold, initiating a request for assistance from a tele-operator, and halting for the tele-operator to respond to the request; and receiving a response from the tele-operator.

Abstract: An apparatus for remote support of autonomous operation of a vehicle is described. The apparatus includes a processor that performs a method including receiving a query to define a path for the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling along a route from an origin to a destination in a vehicle transportation network, the query comprising multiple points including at least a start point and an end point of the path, obtaining a satellite image of a portion of a geographical area that encompasses the multiple points, determining, using the satellite image, static obstacles within the portion of the geographical area, the static obstacles defining navigable areas within the vehicle transportation network, generating the path through each of the multiple points such that the path is located within at least one navigable area of the navigable areas, and transmitting the path for use by the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle airbag system includes an airbag module, a seat detector, and an electronic controller. The airbag module has an airbag that is configured to be movably mounted to a vehicle roof structure. The seat detector detects a position of a vehicle seat. The electronic controller is in communication with the airbag module and the seat detector. The controller controls the airbag module to inflate the airbag in a predetermined direction based on detected position of the vehicle seat by the seat detector.

Abstract: Systems and methods for autonomous vehicle control are disclosed herein. According to some implementations, a method includes a scenario-specific operation control evaluation module (SSOCEM) based on a route of the vehicle. The SSOCEM includes a preferred model and one or more fallback models that respectively determine candidate vehicle control actions. The method includes instantiating a SSOCEM instance based on the SSOCEM. The SSOCEM determines a candidate vehicle control action by determining an approximate amount of time needed to determine a solution to the preferred model and determining an approximate amount of time until the upcoming scenario is reached. When the approximate amount of time needed to determine the solution is less than the approximate amount of time to reach the upcoming scenario, the candidate vehicle control action is determined based on the preferred model; otherwise, the candidate vehicle control action is determined based on a fallback model.

Abstract: Methods and systems for remote support of autonomous operation of vehicles have been disclosed. State indicators are generated by a first state display based on state data from a portion of vehicles assigned to a respective first level control station. A second state display is generated for a second control station and displays state indicators for the state data of the vehicles. A remote support interface including the first state display and image data received from a first vehicle of the vehicles is generated. Instruction data to the first vehicle is transmitted using the remote support interface and based on an indication that the first vehicle needs remote support, the instruction data modifying the autonomous operation of the first vehicle. A workload between the first level control stations is allocated by assigning the vehicles using the state indicators of the second state display.
