Abstract: A method to enable a vehicle's embedded USB Host system to connect to multiple mobile devices through a USB Hub, regardless of whether the mobile devices are configured to function as USB Hosts or USB Devices, without USB On the Go (OTG) controllers or additional vehicle wiring or inhibiting the functionality of any consumer devices connected to the same USB Hub. Preferably, the method is configured to provide no additional cabling or hardware changes to accommodate this capability. The method can be employed between a vehicle's embedded USB Host, USB Hub and at least one consumer accessible USB port. When the consumer device is acting as a USB Host, signals between the consumer device and the vehicle's embedded USB Host are processed through a USB bridge, thereby rendering the consumer device compatible with the vehicle's embedded USB Host.

Abstract: A method is provided for assigning a bounding box to an object in an environment of a vehicle. Data related to objects located in the environment of the vehicle are acquired via a sensor. Based on the data, a respective spatial location and a respective size of a plurality of preliminary bounding boxes are determined such that each preliminary bounding box covers one of the objects at least partly. A respective velocity of each preliminary bounding box is estimated based on the data. A subset of the plurality of preliminary bounding boxes being related to a respective one of the objects is selected, where the subset is selected based on the respective velocity of each of the preliminary bounding boxes. A final bounding box is assigned to the respective one of the objects by merging the preliminary bounding boxes of the corresponding subset.

Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for vehicle localization based on pose corrections from remote vehicles in parking garages and other GNSS denial environments. A system can include a processor and computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to autonomously operate a host vehicle and determine an estimated pose of the host vehicle within the GNSS denial environment. The instructions also cause the processor to transmit a pose request to a remote vehicle in the GNSS denial environment. In response to the pose request, the system can receive a corrected pose of the host vehicle from the remote vehicle. The instructions further cause the processor to use the corrected pose to determine an updated pose for the host vehicle. In this way, the system can provide highly accurate vehicle localization in GNSS denial environments in a cost-effective manner.

Abstract: A method is provided for determining radar transmission and reflection characteristics of a vehicle component in proximity to a radar system. A parameter sweep array including input data sets is defined, each input data set including array elements which cover a range of a respective predefined parameter associated with the vehicle component. A reflection coefficient is calculated for radar waves transmitted by the radar system for each array element of the input data sets and for predefined angles with respect to a surface of the vehicle component. For each input data set and for each predefined angle, a respective worst-case element is determined having a maximum value of the reflection coefficient. A worst-case data set including the worst-case elements is generated for each input data set and for the predefined angles in order to provide a validation of the transmission and reflection characteristics of the vehicle component.

Abstract: A method of serial peripheral interface (SPI) communication includes transmitting a data packet from a master device to a slave device. The data packet includes a read register address, a write register address, and write data. The read register address and the write register address correspond to a data register of a plurality of data registers of the slave device. The method includes receiving a portion of the data packet at the slave device. The portion of the data packet includes the read register address. The method includes reading the read register address in the data packet at the slave device. The method includes transmitting, from the slave device, data from the data register corresponding to the read register address of the slave device to the master device after the read register address has been read.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a first electrical connector housing configured to retain an electrical terminal. The first electrical connector housing has a first shroud surrounding the electrical terminal. The electrical connector assembly also includes a second electrical connector housing configured to retain a mating electrical terminal. The second electrical connector housing has a second shroud surrounding the mating electrical terminal that is configured to be received within the first shroud. The second electrical connector housing includes a circular band in which the first shroud is received. The circular band defines a gap therein and is configured to apply a circumferential clamping force to the first shroud when the gap is narrowed by a lateral force applied to the second electrical connector housing, thereby decreasing an effective internal diameter of the circular band.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided and include a radar system that transmits radar signals within frames having radar chirps. The radar chirps have a stepped frequency waveform such that the initial and end frequencies are changed for subsequent chirps and have a constant pulse repetition period between chirps. The radar system performs range fast Fourier transform (FFT) processing and Doppler FFT processing on receive values corresponding to reflected signals from an object. The radar system estimates range and range-rate information about the object based on range FFT values and Doppler FFT values using a signal model and determines information about the object based on the estimated range and range-rate information. The signal model includes (1) a fast-time dimension term corresponding to samples within a radar chirp and (2) a slow-time dimension term corresponding to individual radar chirps within the frame, with the slow-time dimension term including a second degree term.
