    摘要: There is provided a method for operating a vehicle having an automated driving system (ADS) and a fallback stop feature. The method includes obtaining sensor data and localization data including information about a surrounding environment of the vehicle, and determining a plurality of candidate paths for a prediction time horizon within a drivable area in the surrounding environment of the vehicle based on the sensor data and the localization data. Further, the method includes determining an expected trajectory of a target vehicle located in the surrounding environment of the vehicle for the prediction time horizon based on the obtained sensor data and localization data, and determining, for each candidate path, an overlap cost parameter for an overlap between the target vehicle's expected trajectory and a set of stop positions of the vehicle based on predicted executions of the fallback stop feature within the prediction time horizon.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and autonomous vehicles may obtain one or more images associated with an environment surrounding an autonomous vehicle; determine, based on the one or more images, an orientation of a head worn item of protective equipment of an operator of a vehicle; determine, based on the orientation of the head worn item of protective equipment, a direction of a gaze of the operator and a time period associated with the direction of the gaze of the operator; determine, based on the direction of the gaze of the operator and the time period associated with the direction of the gaze of the operator, a predicted motion path of the vehicle; and control, based on the predicted motion path of the vehicle, at least one autonomous driving operation of the autonomous vehicle.

    摘要: A method includes identifying a desired path for an ego vehicle. The method also includes determining how to apply steering control and torque vectoring control to cause the ego vehicle to follow the desired path. The determination is based on actuator delays associated with the steering control and the torque vectoring control and one or more limits of the ego vehicle. The method further includes applying at least one of the steering control and the torque vectoring control to create lateral movement of the ego vehicle during travel. Determining how to apply the steering control and the torque vectoring control may include using a state-space model that incorporates first-order time delays associated with the steering control and the torque vectoring control and using a linear quadratic regulator to determine how to control the ego vehicle based on the state-space model and the one or more limits of the ego vehicle.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a pull up controlling system of a vehicle for controlling the vehicle in a planned stop-and-go situation. The pull up controlling system determines a position of the vehicle and identifies a stop-and-go destination within a predeterminable distance from the vehicle position. The stop-and-go destination includes an interaction interface. The pull up controlling system provides a user input request relating to whether to discard or acknowledge the stop-and-go destination. The pull up controlling system receives intention data indicative of confirmation to acknowledge the stop-and-go destination. The pull up controlling system further derives preference data indicative of an openable section of the vehicle. The pull up controlling system maneuvers the vehicle to pull up at the stop-and-go destination, with the openable section aligned with the interaction interface.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for identifying objects based on grayscale images in the operation of an autonomous driving vehicle is disclosed. In one embodiment, one or more first color images are received from a camera mounted at an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). One or more first grayscale images are generated based on the one or more first color images, which comprises converting each of the one or more first color images into one of the first grayscale images. One or more objects in the one or more first grayscale images are identified based on a pre-trained grayscale perception model. A trajectory for the ADV is planned based at least in part on the identified one or more objects. Control signals are generated to drive the ADV based on the planned trajectory.

    摘要: A method for detecting an improperly driven vehicle, that may include detecting, based on information sensed by at least one sensor of a monitoring vehicle, a behavior of a monitored vehicle; determining whether the behavior of the monitored vehicle is an improper behavior; generating, by a processing unit of the monitoring vehicle, an improper vehicle label that comprises a unique vehicle identifier that identifies the monitored vehicle, when the behavior of the monitored vehicle is determined to be improper; and sending the improper vehicle label to at least one shared database accessible to other vehicles.

    摘要: Embodiments for operational envelope detection (OED) with situational assessment are disclosed. Embodiments herein relate to an operational envelope detector that is configured to receive, as inputs, information related to sensors of the system and information related to operational design domain (ODD) requirements. The OED then compares the information related to sensors of the system to the information related to the ODD requirements, and identifies whether the system is operating within its ODD or whether a remedial action is appropriate to adjust the ODD requirements based on the current sensor information. Other embodiments are described and/or claimed.
