    Abstract: A thermal comfort device comprises a pair of selectively contractable piezo-electric diaphragms and a body sandwiched between the pair of diaphragms, the body defines a cavity and an opening, wherein, the piezo-electric diaphragms are adapted to be selectively contracted to flex outward, drawing air into the cavity, and to flex inward, forcing air out of the cavity, each of the piezo-electric diaphragms adapted to be selectively controlled by varying the voltage and the frequency, wherein the velocity of the air being forced outward from the cavity is selectively variable, and a thermo-electric device adapted to thermally condition air forced outward from the cavity by one of heating and cooling the air forced outward from the cavity, wherein the thermo-electric device is positioned at one of within the cavity and outside the cavity aligned with the opening.

    Abstract: A method of on-line diagnostic and prognostic assessment of an autonomous vehicle perception system includes detecting, via a sensor, a physical parameter of an object external to the vehicle. The method also includes communicating data representing the physical parameter via the sensor to an electronic controller. The method additionally includes comparing the data from the sensor to data representing the physical parameter generated by a geo-source model. The method also includes comparing results generated by a perception software during analysis of the data from the sensor to labels representing the physical parameter from the geo-source model. Furthermore, the method includes generating a prognostic assessment of a ground truth for the physical parameter of the object using the comparisons of the sensor data to the geo-source model data and of the software results to the geo-source model labels. A system for on-line assessment of the vehicle perception system is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for providing operation data onboard a first vehicle with autonomous capabilities. The method presents an image of an exterior view from the first vehicle with autonomous capabilities, by a user interface touchscreen communicatively coupled to a processor and system memory element; receives user input data to manipulate the image, via the user interface touchscreen; adjusts the image, by the processor, based on the user input data; modifies an operation parameter of the first vehicle with autonomous capabilities, by the processor, based on the user input data, to generate a modified operation parameter, wherein the operation parameter comprises at least one of a following distance, a stopping distance, or a turning speed; and transmits the modified operation parameter, via a communication device communicatively coupled to the processor.

    Abstract: A system, for use in evaluating operation of a vehicle, includes a hardware-based processing unit, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage component including various functioning modules. The modules in various embodiments include an input module that, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, receives, from a vehicle-braking sensor, braking data indicting characteristics of a braking event at the vehicle. The system in some implementations includes an input unit receiving the braking data from the sensor and passing it to a braking-monitoring module. The braking-monitoring module, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determines, based on the braking data, whether the braking event is within an acceptable pre-established limit. The technology in various embodiments includes processes performed by the system and algorithms used therein.
