    Abstract: A user-centric driving-support system for implementation at a vehicle of transportation. The system in various embodiments includes one or more vehicle sensors, such as a camera, a RADAR, and a LiDAR, and a hardware-based processing unit. The system further includes a non-transitory computer-readable storage device including an activity unit and an output-structuring unit. The activity unit, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determines, based on contextual input information, at least one of an alert-assessment output and a scene-awareness output, wherein the contextual input information includes output of the vehicle sensor. The output-structuring unit, when executed by the hardware-based processing unit, determines an action to be performed at the vehicle based on at least one of the alert-assessment output and the scene-awareness output determined by the activity unit. The technology in various implementations includes the storage device, alone, and user-centric driving-support processes performed using the device and other vehicle components.

    Abstract: A LiDAR sensor having particular application for use on a vehicle. The LiDAR sensor includes a plurality of spaced apart VCSEL arrays each including a single lens, where the lens for each VCSEL array directs the beam of the particular laser in the array that is illuminated in a desired direction so that turning on and off of the lasers in each array creates a scanning effect. The number and the size of the VCSEL arrays are selected to provide the desired FOV for the sensor, where the VCSEL arrays can be positioned on a curved platform to provide that FOV. The sensor also includes one or more detectors for detecting reflections of the laser beams emitted by the lasers. Control electronics are provided to scan the laser beams and generate a three-dimensional point cloud of return image points.
