    CPC classification number: B62D1/286 B62D5/046

    Abstract: The invention is a steering system for use in test driving of an autonomous vehicle, comprising—a manual steering means configured to manually steer the vehicle, —a steering axle (30) attached to the manual steering means, and—a direct drive motor (35) controllably affecting a torque on the steering axle (30), wherein the direct drive motor (35) has an axis (37) of rotation being coaxial with the steering axle (30). The steering system is characterized in that—it has at least two predefined states characterizing different driving conditions, wherein each predefined state has at least one predefined disengagement limit, and—it further comprises a controller assembly operable based on a control parameter, the controller assembly being configured to detect an actual predefined state of the vehicle, and the controller assembly initiates a disengagement of the direct drive motor (35) if, based on a difference value between a prescribed value of the control parameter and an actual value of the control parameter, the at least one predefined disengagement limit corresponding to the actual predefined state is reached. The invention further relates to a disengagement method, and a data processing system, a computer program product and a computer readable medium carrying out the method.

    Abstract: The invention is a method for object segmentation in an image, comprising the steps of



    inputting the image to a trained machine learning system, and
    reconstructing the segmentation contour of the object.




    The method is characterized by comprising the steps of



    estimating, by the trained machine learning system, a representation of a segmentation contour of an object in the image, wherein the segmentation contour is a closed two-dimensional parametric curve, each point of which is defined by two coordinate components, wherein both coordinate components are parametrized, and
    wherein the reconstruction of the segmentation contour of the object is carried out from the estimated representation of the segmentation contour.




    The invention further relates to a data processing system, a computer program product and a computer readable medium carrying out the above method.

    Abstract: Sensor data is recorded during testing of a control unit of an autonomous car in an autonomous driving mode. In response to being triggered by a disengagement event, recorded sensor data from an analysis time window prior to the disengagement event is logged. The logged sensor data is processed in a simulator using the control unit to control a virtual autonomous car to identify the inadequately operating component of the control unit. The component may be modified and retested until the disengagement event is avoided in the simulator. The control unit with the modified component may then be used to record new sensor data during testing of the control unit in the autonomous driving mode, and the simulation repeated on the new data.
