Abstract: World objects tracking and prediction by an autonomous vehicle (AV) is disclosed. A method includes identifying, based on first observation data received from sensors of the AV, an oncoming vehicle; identifying, based on second observation data received from the sensors of the AV, a road object; generating a lane-following hypothesis for the oncoming vehicle, the lane-following hypothesis indicating an intention that the oncoming vehicle remain in a current road lane; computing a lane-following reference driveline for the lane-following hypothesis of the oncoming vehicle; in response to determining that the lane-following reference driveline is blocked by the road object, generating a go-around hypothesis for the oncoming vehicle, and computing a go-around reference driveline for the go-around hypothesis; and providing at least one of a go-around trajectory corresponding to the go-around hypothesis or a lane-following trajectory corresponding to the lane-following hypothesis.

Abstract: A method and apparatus may be used in a vehicle to generate a dynamic driver score. The method may include collecting data. The data may be collected at a predetermined interval. The data may include one or more frames. Each frame may correspond to the predetermined interval and may be divided into segments. Each frame may include a first acceleration data and a second acceleration data. The first acceleration data may be associated with an acceleration of a vehicle at a first segment of the frame, and the second acceleration data may be associated with an acceleration of the vehicle at a second segment of the frame. The frames may be grouped using machine learning methods to determine the driver score. The driver score may be used to modify driving behavior.

Abstract: A HVAC system that includes an air duct connected to an air handler and having a tubular housing with a first airflow path and a second airflow path therein separated from the first airflow path. One end of the tubular housing having a first air outlet in fluid communication with only the first airflow path and a second air outlet in fluid communication with only the second airflow path. The first air outlet and the second air outlet are adjacent to one another. A vent assembly having a housing surrounding first airflow directing members and second airflow directing members. The vent assembly is installed to the end of the tubular housing such that the first airflow directing members direct airflow from the first air outlet in a first direction. The second airflow directing members direct airflow from the second air outlet in a second direction.

Abstract: A structural member extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction. An off-center impact structure has a first member and a second member. The first member has a linear portion and an offset portion both having a hollow interior. The first linear portion extends through a first opening in the structural member in a direction perpendicular to the structural member and further extends in an outboard direction from the structural member. The offset portion is angularly offset from the first linear portion and extends laterally outboard and forward relative to the structural member. The second member has a first section and a second section. The first section is disposed within the hollow interior of the linear portion of the first member and the second section extends through of an opening in the first member outboard from the opening of the first member away from the hollow interior.

Abstract: A remote system for an autonomous vehicle, includes a receiver, a controller, and a display device. The receiver is configured to receive road information. The controller is programmed to receive input related to the road information and create a supervision zone when the road information impacts road drivability. The display device is disposed at a control center area and configured to display a visual indication on a map of the supervision zone.

Abstract: A vehicle exhaust system includes a vehicle body structure, an exhaust system, a rear bumper assembly, an exhaust finisher and a boot. The exhaust assembly is supported to an underside of the vehicle body structure. The rear bumper assembly is also supported to the vehicle body structure. The exhaust finisher is non-movably attached to one of the vehicle body structure and the rear bumper assembly. The exhaust finisher extends at least part way through an opening of the rear bumper assembly. The boot has a first end, a second end, and a flexible portion. The first end is attached to a rear end of the exhaust assembly. The second end is attached to a forward end of the exhaust finisher and the flexible portion extends from the trout end to the second end. The flexible portion is elastically deformable in response to thermal expansion and contraction of the exhaust assembly.

Abstract: A socket tool adapter includes a base member having a first surface and a second surface. First and second jaw members are pivotally connected to the first surface of the base member. The first and second jaw members are configured to move between first and second closed positions and first and second open positions, respectively. The first and second jaw members are configured to receive an accessory when the first and second jaw members are in the open positions. First and second biasing members are connected between the first and second jaw members, respectively, and the base member. The first and second biasing members are configured to bias the first and second jaw members to the first and second closed positions, respectively. A cover member is connected to the second surface of the base member.

Abstract: Trajectory planning for an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. A method for planning a trajectory for an autonomous vehicle includes determining a coarse driveline from a first location to a second location; determining a strategic speed plan for the coarse driveline; removing lateral discontinuities in the coarse driveline based on the strategic speed plan to generate an adjusted coarse driveline; and generating lateral constraints around the adjusted coarse driveline and a discrete-time speed plan based on observed objects.

Abstract: Detection of merge scenarios by an autonomous vehicle (AV) is disclosed. A system includes a memory and a processor. The memory includes instructions executable by the processor to, in response to detecting a merge scenario, identify an interacting object pair including a merging object and a crossing object, where the AV is the merging object; generate a yield hypothesis and a no-yield hypothesis; compute a yield reference path corresponding to the yield hypothesis and a no-yield reference path corresponding to the no-yield hypothesis; determine a yield likelihood of the yield hypothesis and a no-yield likelihood of the no-yield hypothesis; and operate the AV to merge or to wait until the merge scenario is no longer detected based on the yield likelihood and the no-yield likelihood.
