    摘要: Provided herein is a system and method for regulating a sensor enclosure of a vehicle. The system comprises an enclosure comprising a vent at a base of the enclosure, one or more sensors configured to determine a parameter of the vehicle or the enclosure, a fan configured to regulate an internal temperature of the enclosure, and a controller configured to regulate a rotation speed of the fan based on the parameter of the vehicle or the enclosure. The regulating system further comprises a deflector connected to the enclosure and configured to direct an airflow into the vent based on the parameter.

    摘要: Described herein are systems, methods, and computer readable media for capturing image data of one or more regions of a vehicle (e.g., a cargo area of an autonomous vehicle) at various particular times and assessing the image data to determine whether a past vehicle occupant has left behind one or more belongings of value in the vehicle. If it is determined that a former vehicle occupant has left behind an article of value, an audible message may be outputted from a speaker of the vehicle to inform the former occupant of the presence of the article in the vehicle or a notification may be sent to a mobile device of the former occupant. The audible message may be outputted, for example, while the former occupant is beyond a predetermined distance from the vehicle, but still within range of hearing the message.

    摘要: Provided herein is a system and method of a vehicle. The system comprises one or more sensors, processors, maps, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the system to perform: monitoring a location of the vehicle while driving; detecting a sign while the vehicle is driving; capturing, frame-by-frame, data of the sign until the sign disappears from a field of view of the sensor; synchronizing each frame of the data with the location of the vehicle; determining a location of the sign based on the frame-by-frame data; in response to determining, at a frame immediately before the sign disappears from the field of view of the sensor, that the vehicle is driving towards the sign, uploading the detected sign and the location of the sign onto the one or more maps; and implementing a driving action based on the sign.

    摘要: An apparatus on a vehicle comprises one or more sensors, one or more nozzles that output fluid to clean the respective one or more sensors, and a compressor that generates fluid such as compressed air. The compressor is in fluid communication with the one or more nozzles. The apparatus further comprises one or more processors, and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to predict a trajectory of the vehicle and control an operation of the compressor based on the predicted trajectory of the vehicle.

    摘要: A computing device triggers a sensor operation. The computing device includes one or more processors and instructions or logic that, when executed by the one or more processors, implements computing functions. The computing device performs receiving timestamps from a sensor, simulating an operation of the sensor, the simulation including predicting orientations of the sensor at different times based on the received timestamps, comparing a latest timestamp of the computing device to a latest timestamp of the sensor, and based on the comparison, triggering a second sensor to perform an operation.

    摘要: Described herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for self-detection of a fault condition by a vehicle component, generation of a device health code that includes multiple tiers of information relating to the fault condition experienced by the vehicle component, and broadcasting of the device health code to one or more other vehicle components via one or more vehicle communication networks. A recommended vehicle response measure indicated by a reaction code in the device health code can then be taken or alternate vehicle response may be selected and initiated based on an evaluation of current vehicle operational data.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media may be configured to characterize optical characteristics of optical elements. An optical element mount may be configured to carry an optical element. A calibration display may be configured to display a calibration object. The calibration object may include a known visual pattern. Multiple images of the calibration object may be obtained. The multiple images may be acquired using the optical element carried by the optical element mount. The multiple images may include different perspectives of the calibration object. Optical characteristics of the optical element may be characterized based on the known visual pattern and the different perspectives of the calibration object.
