Abstract: The present application generally relates communications and hazard avoidance within a monitored driving environment. More specifically, the application teaches a system for improved target object detection in a vehicle equipped with a laser detection and ranging LIDAR system by determining a plurality of ranges in response to a plurality of light pulse reflections and determining a false target indication by exploiting the expected continuity of surfaces in the environment.

Abstract: A smoke detection system for an interior of a vehicle is provided. The smoke detection system includes a detection module and a reporting module. The detection module, while the vehicle is being used as part of a car sharing or ride sharing service: receives a sensor signal from a smoke detector; compares data included in the sensor signal to smoke characteristic or smoke pattern data; based on the comparison, determines whether an occupant of the vehicle is smoking; and generates an alert signal if the occupant is smoking. The reporting module at least one of: based on the alert signal, visually or audibly provides a warning to the occupant to stop smoking; transmits the alert signal to a mobile device of the occupant to indicate that a smoking event has been detected; or transmits the alert signal to a network device of a service provider to report the smoking event.

Abstract: An obstacle detection and notification system for a motorcycle. The system includes a forward looking camera and a backward looking camera mountable to the motorcycle and a processor in operable communication with the forward looking camera and the backward looking camera. The processor executes program instructions to execute processes including: receiving video from the of the forward looking camera and the backward looking camera, performing a computer vision and machine learning based object detection and tracking process to detect, classify and track obstacles in the video and to output detected object data, defining a blind spot region around one or more other vehicles using the detected object data, determining whether the motorcycle is located in the blind spot region, and outputting audible, tactile or visual feedback, via an output system, to a rider of the motorcycle when the motorcycle is determined to be located in the blind spot region.

Abstract: A test system for detecting impairment aboard a motor vehicle includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and sensors in communication therewith. The sensors are positioned within a vehicle interior, and include at least a touch screen and a microphone, and possibly an eye-tracking camera. In response to receiving a start request indicative of a requested start event of the motor vehicle, the ECU executes instructions to initiate a cognitive response test via the sensors. The ECU determines a test score of a driver during the test while the motor vehicle remains off, compares the test score to baseline scores to determine a passing or failing test result, and executes a control action aboard the motor vehicle in response to the passing or failing test result. The ECU may disable or immobilize the motor vehicle in response to the failing test result.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for 3D object bounding for 2D image data for use in an assisted driving equipped vehicle. In various embodiments, an apparatus includes a camera operative to capture a two dimensional image of a field of view, a lidar operative to generate a point cloud of the field of view, a processor operative to generate a three dimensional representation of the field of view in response to the point cloud, to detect an object within the three dimensional representation, to generate a three dimensional bounding box in response to the object, to project the three dimensional bounding box onto the two dimensional image to generate a labeled two dimensional image, and a vehicle controller to controlling a vehicle in response to the labeled two dimensional image.

Abstract: System and methods for estimating a centerline of a road that separates traffic moving in opposite directions include aggregating a data set from each of a plurality of vehicles traversing the road over a period of time as telemetry data. Each data set of the telemetry data indicates a location and a heading. The method includes clustering the data sets of the telemetry data based on the heading indicated by each data set, and identifying a separator to separate the data sets indicating a first heading from the data sets indicating a second heading, opposite to the first heading. The centerline is estimated based on applying a spatial smoothing to the separator.

Abstract: A system for inferring lane boundaries via vehicle telemetry for a road section is provided. The system includes a computerized remote server device operable to receive through a communications network sensor data describing lane markings upon roads bordering the road section, determine established lanes upon roads bordering the road section based upon the sensor data, receive through the communications network the vehicle telemetry generated by a plurality of vehicles traversing the road section, generate inferred lanes for the road section based upon the vehicle telemetry, match the inferred lanes to the established lanes to generate unified lane geometries, and publish the unified lane geometries.

Abstract: A method to detect a roadway edge includes calculating a first likelihood of a roadway edge from an aerial image of a roadway by shifting a centerline of the roadway perpendicular to the centerline and overlapping the centerline with image gradients. A second likelihood of the roadway edge is determined using a vehicle telemetry fitting a probability distribution to telemetry points along the roadway. The first likelihood of the roadway edge and the second likelihood of the roadway edge are fused to identify a final likelihood of the roadway edge.
