    摘要: Dangers to autonomous vehicles may be reduced. A backup control computing device includes a memory and a processor. The processor is programmed to (1) receive an indication of an anomalous event, the anomalous event including one of a geomagnetic interference event and a cyber-attack event; (2) perform a threat assessment for the anomalous event relative to an automation system of a vehicle, the automation system is configured to control an aspect of autonomous operation of the vehicle; (3) determine one or more mitigating actions to perform on the automation system based upon the threat assessment, the one or more mitigating actions are configured to reduce a danger to the vehicle presented by the anomalous event; and (4) perform the one or more mitigating actions on the automation system, thereby reducing danger to the vehicle presented by the anomalous event.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method is provided for adjusting at least one of a visual or an auditory setting correlated to the provision of entertainment within a vehicle. The method includes receiving information indicative of one or more changes in behavior that coincides with a provision of entertainment within a vehicle. The information indicative of the one or more changes in behavior is based on data captured by one or more sensors of the vehicle. The method includes analyzing the one or more changes in behavior in order to determine a modification to the provision of entertainment within the vehicle. The modification is commensurate with the one or more changes in behavior. The method includes based on the determined modification, providing, an output signal for adjusting at least one of a visual or an auditory setting correlated to the provision of entertainment within the vehicle.

    摘要: Systems and methods detecting onboard sensor tampering are disclosed. According to embodiments, data captured by interior sensors within a vehicle may be analyzed to determine an indication that the activity of the vehicle operator either cannot be sufficiently detected or cannot be sufficiently identified using the captured data (e.g., that the captured data may be compromised). A date and time associated with the indication may be recorded, and a vehicle operator associated with the indication may be identified. A possible cause for the compromised data may be diagnosed, and notification may be generated indicating that the activity of the vehicle operator either cannot be sufficiently detected or cannot be sufficiently identified, and/or the possible cause. Additionally, a recommendation for restoring sensor functionality may be generated for the vehicle operator based the possible cause.

    摘要: Systems and methods for analyzing sensor data to determine an inferred emotional state of a vehicle operator and generate a recommendation based on the inferred emotional state are disclosed. According to embodiments, an electronic device may analyze image data depicting a vehicle operator to identify a behavior. The electronic device may also compare vehicle dynamics data to baseline vehicle dynamics data to determine if the vehicle dynamics data differs from the baseline vehicle dynamics data by a threshold amount. Based on the identified behavior and the vehicle dynamics data, the electronic device may determine an inferred emotional state of the vehicle operator. The electronic device may generate a recommendation for the vehicle operator based on the inferred emotional state.
