    摘要: An on-board computing system for a vehicle is configured to generate and selectively present a set of autonomous-switching directions within a navigation user interface for the operator of the vehicle. The autonomous-switching directions can inform the operator regarding changes to the vehicle's mode of autonomous operation. The on-board computing system can generate the set of autonomy-switching directions based on the vehicle's route and other information associated with the route, such as autonomous operation permissions (AOPs) for route segments that comprise the route. The on-board computing device can selectively present the autonomy-switching directions based on locations associated with anticipated changes in autonomous operations determined for the route of the vehicle, the vehicle's location, and the vehicle's speed. In addition, the on-board computing device is further configured to present audio alerts associated with the autonomy-switching directions to the operator of the vehicle.

    摘要: A platooning control system includes a platoon controller that generates environmental maps used for platooning of vehicles, and a travel controller that controls travel of a following vehicle following a leading vehicle. The platoon controller generates the environmental maps each representing the position of an object around the vehicles, and delivers the maps to the following vehicle. The travel controller transmits object information indicating the position of an object detected from environmental data outputted by an environmental sensor mounted on the following vehicle to the platoon controller, executes update so that the position of the object represented in the latest environmental map is changed to the position of the object at the time when the following vehicle reaches the position of the leading vehicle represented in the latest environmental map, and controls travel of the following.

    摘要: Methods and systems for the use of detected objects for image processing are described. A computing device autonomously controlling a vehicle may receive images of the environment surrounding the vehicle from an image-capture device coupled to the vehicle. In order to process the images, the computing device may receive information indicating characteristics of objects in the images from one or more sources coupled to the vehicle. Examples of sources may include RADAR, LIDAR, a map, sensors, a global positioning system (GPS), or other cameras. The computing device may use the information indicating characteristics of the objects to process received images, including determining the approximate locations of objects within the images. Further, while processing the image, the computing device may use information from sources to determine portions of the image to focus upon that may allow the computing device to determine a control strategy based on portions of the image.
