Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, etc., for collaboratively directing one or more headlights among vehicles traveling in a platoon. Various aspects may include transmitting, by a first vehicle processor of a first vehicle traveling in the platoon, a collaborative lighting plan to a second vehicle traveling in the platoon, wherein the collaborative lighting plan may direct the second vehicle to direct one or more headlights of the second vehicle in a direction other than a direction of travel of the platoon. The first vehicle processor may then direct one or more the headlights of the first vehicle in accordance with the collaborative lighting plan.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems enable controlling an autonomous vehicle by identifying vehicles that are within a threshold distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining an autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles, and adjusting a driving parameter of the autonomous vehicle based on the determined autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles. Embodiments may further include determining, based on the determined ACMs, whether one or more identified vehicles would provide an operational advantage to the autonomous vehicle in a cooperative driving engagement, and initiating a cooperative driving engagement with the one or more identified vehicles in response to determining that the one or more identified vehicles would provide an operational advantage to the autonomous vehicle in a cooperative driving engagement.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media for a lightweight forward simulation for decision-making. For example, a computing device for decision making for operation of at least one vehicle can determine a plurality of prediction trajectories onto a path of a vehicle within a simulated scene over time at time steps. Each prediction trajectory of the plurality of prediction trajectories can include at least one position of the vehicle or at least one location of an agent vehicle of one or more agent vehicles that changes as a function of time. The computing device can further determine one or more reactions of the one or more agent vehicles based on at least the position of the vehicle and each respective reactivity model assigned to each agent vehicle. For example, a respective reactivity model can be based on a traffic context.

Abstract: Some embodiments include methods for customizing operation of the robotic vehicle for an operator. Such embodiments may include identifying a current operator of the robotic vehicle, configuring the robotic vehicle based on metadata associated with an operator profile for the operator, determining whether the operator has changed, and if so, identifying the new operator, deriving updated preference-based settings and performance-based settings for the new operator, and updating configurations of the robotic vehicle accordingly. Some embodiments may include identifying a current operator, retrieving an operator profile and associated metadata for the operator from a central database, configuring the robotic vehicle based on preference-based and performance-based settings, analyzing input data during operation, storing identified real-time operator habit information during operation of the robotic vehicle, deriving updated preference-based and performance-based settings for the operator; and uploading to the central database modifications to the metadata associated with the operator profile of the operator.

Abstract: In some aspects, a device of a vehicle may obtain information relating to an environment in which the vehicle is located. The device may determine using a machine learning model, a driving context of the vehicle based at least in part on the information relating to the environment, and a set of hyperparameters for a model, that is used to determine a driving behavior for the vehicle, based at least in part on the driving context. The device may determine, using the model configured with the set of hyperparameters, the driving behavior for the vehicle. The device may cause autonomous operation of the vehicle in accordance with the driving behavior. Numerous other aspects are described.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, etc., for collaboratively directing or configuring one or more headlights of a vehicle to avoid visually interfering with operation of an oncoming vehicle. Various embodiments may include receiving, by a first vehicle processor, a first collaborative lighting message from a second vehicle, wherein the first collaborative lighting message requests that the first vehicle direct one or more headlights of the first vehicle to avoid visual interference with operation of the second vehicle and directing one or more the headlights of the first vehicle in accordance with the collaborative lighting plan. Directing the headlights to avoid visual interference with operation of the second vehicle may include switching the headlights to a low-beam configuration.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as an autonomous vehicle, a semi-autonomous vehicle, etc., for collaboratively directing one or more headlights by two or more vehicles. Various aspects may include receiving, by a first vehicle processor, a first vehicle collaborative lighting message from a second vehicle, in which the first vehicle collaborative lighting message requests that the first vehicle direct one or more headlights of the first vehicle to illuminate a target area of uncertainty that is disposed, relative to the first vehicle, in a direction other than a direction of travel of the first vehicle. The first vehicle processor may direct one or more the headlights of the first vehicle to illuminate the target area in accordance with the first vehicle collaborative lighting message.
