摘要: A light detection and ranging (lidar) system for a vehicle may include a receiver layer, a transmitter layer coupled to the receiver layer through an adhesive layer in a first direction, and one or more optics. The transmitter layer may receive, at a first side of the transmitter layer, a transmit signal from a laser source, and transmit the transmit signal through the one or more optics. The receiver layer may receive, through the one or more optics, a return signal reflected by an object in an environment of the vehicle, and output the return signal at a first side of the receiver layer. The first side of the transmitter layer and the first side of the receiver layer may be apart from and parallel to each other in a second direction crossing the first direction.

摘要: A control system for a vehicle includes a time sensitive network switch and one or more processors. The time sensitive network switch is configured to receive sensor data from light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensors, radio detection and ranging (RADAR) sensors, or image sensors. The sensor data is representative of estimated objects that are in an external environment of the autonomous vehicle. The one or more processors are configured to receive the sensor data and determine instructions to control movement of the autonomous vehicle at least partially based on the sensor data from the time sensitive network switch and at least partially based on map data.

摘要: An autonomous vehicle control system includes one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to cause a transmitter to transmit a transmit signal from a laser source. The one or more processors are configured to cause a receiver to receive a return signal reflected by an object. The one or more processors are configured to cause one or more optics to generate a first polarized signal of the return signal with a first polarization, and generate a second polarized signal of the return signal with a second polarization. The one or more processors are configured to calculate a value of reflectivity based on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value of the first polarized signal and an SNR value of the second polarized signal. The one or more processors are configured to operate a vehicle based on the value of reflectivity.

摘要: A LIDAR system for a vehicle is provided. The LIDAR system includes a lid defining an internal volume. The LIDAR system includes one or more circuit modules disposed within the internal volume. The LIDAR system includes a cold plate including a first side coupled to the lid to enclose the one or more circuit modules within the internal volume. The cold plate further includes a second side that is different from the first side and defines a fluid channel through which a liquid coolant flows. The LIDAR system includes a cover coupled to the cold plate to cover the fluid channel defined in the second side of the cold plate.

摘要: A system and method for combining multiple functions of a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system includes receiving a second optical beam generated by the laser source or a second laser source, wherein the second optical beam is associated with a second local oscillator (LO); splitting the second optical beam into a third split optical beam and a fourth split optical beam; transmitting, to the optical device, the third split optical beam and the fourth split optical beam; receiving, from the optical device, a third reflected beam that is associated with the third split optical beam and a fourth reflected beam that is associated with the fourth split optical beam; and pairing the third reflected beam with the second LO signal and the fourth reflected beam with the second LO signal.

摘要: A vehicle radar sensor utilizes Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar signals that incorporate non-uniform FMCW chirps having chirp profiles that differ from one another to sense one or more parameters of one or more objects in a field of view of the radar sensor. The chirp profiles may differ from one another in various manners, e.g., based on starting frequency, repetition interval, duration and/or slope, and among other advantages, may be used to enhance sensing of various parameters such as range, Doppler/velocity and/or angle.

摘要: An autonomous vehicle includes an array of sensors, a processor, and a switch. The array of sensors generate sensor data related to one or more objects in an external environment of the autonomous vehicle and the processor determines an environmental context. The switch transfers the sensor data from the array of sensors to the processor, where the switch is configured to: (a) receive first sensor data from a first sensor group of the array of sensors; (b) receive second sensor data from a second sensor group of the array of sensors; (c) determine an order of transmission of the first sensor data over the second sensor data in response to the environmental context; and (d) transmit the first sensor data to the processor prior to transmitting the second sensor data based on the order of transmission.

摘要: Logged data from an autonomous vehicle is processed to generate augmented data. The augmented data describes an actor in an environment of the autonomous vehicle, the actor having an associated actor type and an actor motion behavior characteristic. The augmented data may be varied to create different sets of augmented data. The sets of augmented data can be used to create one or more simulation scenarios that in turn are used to produce machine learning models to control the operation of autonomous vehicles.

摘要: In techniques disclosed herein, machine learning models can be utilized in the control of autonomous vehicle(s), where the machine learning models are trained using automatically generated training instances. In some such implementations, a label corresponding to an object in a labeled instance of training data can be mapped to the corresponding instance of unlabeled training data. For example, an instance of sensor data can be captured using one or more sensors of a first sensor suite of a first vehicle can be labeled. The label(s) can be mapped to an instance of data captured using one or more sensors of a second sensor suite of a second vehicle.
