Abstract: Described are devices, systems and methods for real-time remote control of vehicles with high redundancy. In some embodiments, two copies of at least one control command are received using two different wireless communication protocols, and are compared. The at least one control command is executed when the two copies are in agreement, but is rejected when the two copies differ. In other embodiments, additional wireless communication protocols may exist to provide a redundant mode of communication when one of the two different wireless communication protocols are unavailable. In yet other embodiments, redundant GPS units may be used to determine availability of any of the communication protocols, and relevant control commands may be downloaded in advance to circumvent a lack of coverage.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for remote safe driving. One exemplary method includes detecting an emergency situation, and in response to the detecting the emergency situation, switching operation of the vehicle to a low-power operation mode that comprises shutting down a subset of vehicular components, and periodically transmitting a location of the vehicle to a remote monitoring center. Another exemplary method includes selecting at least one of a set of vehicular driving actions, and transmitting, over a secure connection, the at least one of the set of vehicular driving actions to the vehicle, wherein the set of vehicular driving actions is generated based on a classification of driver behavior.

Abstract: A method of localization for a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs is disclosed. The one or more programs comprise instructions, which when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform by one or more autonomous vehicle driving modules execution of processing of images from a camera and data from a LiDAR using the following steps comprising: voxelizing a 3D submap and a global map into voxels; estimating distribution of 3D points within the voxels, using a probabilistic model; extracting features from the 3D submap and the global map; and classifying the extracted features into classes.

Abstract: A method of visual odometry for a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs is disclosed. The one or more programs includes instructions, which when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform the following steps comprising: performing data alignment among sensors including a LiDAR, cameras and an IMU-GPS module; collecting image data and generating point clouds; processing, in the IMU-GPS module, a pair of consecutive images in the image data to recognize pixels corresponding to a same point in the point clouds; and establishing an optical flow for visual odometry.
