Abstract: Techniques for controlling an autonomous vehicle with a processor that controls operation, includes operating a Doppler LIDAR system to collect point cloud data that indicates for each point at least four dimensions including an inclination angle, an azimuthal angle, a range, and relative speed between the point and the LIDAR system. A value of a property of an object in the point cloud is determined based on only three or fewer of the at least four dimensions. In some of embodiments, determining the value of the property of the object includes isolating multiple points in the point cloud data which have high value Doppler components. A moving object within the plurality of points is determined based on a cluster by azimuth and Doppler component values.

Abstract: An autonomous platform can obtain sensor data descriptive of an actor in an environment of an autonomous vehicle and at least a portion of the environment of the autonomous vehicle that does not include the actor, the sensor data comprising at least one sweep of the environment of the autonomous vehicle; process the sensor data with a machine-learned perception model to generate a detection of the actor and one or more predicted future velocities; and determine a motion trajectory for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the detection and the one or more predicted future velocities.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.
