Abstract: Example blind spot detection systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a primary vehicle detects a secondary vehicle ahead of the primary vehicle in an adjacent lane of traffic. A method determines dimensions of the secondary vehicle and estimates a vehicle class associated with the secondary vehicle based on the dimensions of the secondary vehicle. The method also identifies a side-view mirror location on the secondary vehicle and determines a blind spot associated with the secondary vehicle based on the vehicle class and the side-view mirror location.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatuses for virtual sensor data generation and more particularly relates to generation of virtual sensor data for training and testing models or algorithms to detect objects or obstacles. A method for generating virtual sensor data includes simulating, using one or more processors, a three-dimensional (3D) environment comprising one or more virtual objects. The method includes generating, using one or more processors, virtual sensor data for a plurality of positions of one or more sensors within the 3D environment. The method includes determining, using one or more processors, virtual ground truth corresponding to each of the plurality of positions, wherein the ground truth comprises a dimension or parameter of the one or more virtual objects. The method includes storing and associating the virtual sensor data and the virtual ground truth using one or more processors.

Abstract: A controller for an autonomous vehicle receives audio signals from one or more microphones. The outputs of the microphones are pre-processed to enhance audio features that originated from vehicles. The outputs may also be processed to remove noise. The audio features are input to a machine learning model that classifies the source of the audio features. For example, features may be classified as originating from a vehicle. A direction to a source of the audio features is determined based on relative delays of the audio features in signals from multiple microphones. Where audio features are classified with an above-threshold confidence as originating from a vehicle, collision avoidance is performed with respect to the direction to the source of the audio features.

Abstract: A driving assistance system includes a drive detection component, a presence component, and a notification component. The drive detection component is configured to determine that a vehicle or driver is exiting or preparing to exit a parking location. The presence component is configured to determine, from a drive history database, whether a parking barrier is present in front of or behind the parking location. The notification component is configured to provide an indication that the parking barrier is present to a human driver or an automated driving system of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for generating training data is disclosed. The method may include executing a simulation process. The simulation process may include traversing a virtual camera through a virtual driving environment comprising at least one virtual precipitation condition and at least one virtual no precipitation condition. During the traversing, the virtual camera may be moved with respect to the virtual driving environment as dictated by a vehicle-motion model modeling motion of a vehicle driving through the virtual driving environment while carrying the virtual camera. Virtual sensor data characterizing the virtual driving environment in both virtual precipitation and virtual no precipitation conditions may be recorded. The virtual sensor data may correspond to what a real sensor would have output had it sensed the virtual driving environment in the real world.

Abstract: A vehicle controller receives images from a camera upon arrival and upon departure. A location of the vehicle may be tracked and images captured by the camera may be tagged with a location. A departure image may be compared to an arrival image captured closest to the same location as the arrival image. A residual image based on a difference between the arrival and departure images is evaluated for anomalies. Attributes of the anomaly such as texture, color, and the like are determined and the anomaly is classified based on the attributes. If the classification indicates an automotive fluid, then an alert is generated.

Abstract: Example sinkhole detection systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives data from multiple sensors mounted to a vehicle and analyzes the received data to identify a sinkhole in a roadway ahead of the vehicle. If a sinkhole is identified, the method adjusts vehicle operations and reports the sinkhole to a shared database and/or another vehicle.
