    摘要: A high precision digital map is pre-developed and stored in a memory of an in-vehicle control computer on an autonomous vehicle. The digital map is updated by the in-vehicle control computer with detected roadway data that is a fusion of roadway perception data from at least one perception sensor on the autonomous vehicle and real time GPS signal from at least one GPS receiving devices on the autonomous vehicle. The updated digital map is transferred to a remote oversight system via a network communication subsystem, and the oversight system distributes the updated digital map to other autonomous vehicles connected over the network communication subsystem.

    摘要: A system includes an autonomous vehicle and an oversight server. The oversight server obtain sensor data from the autonomous vehicle. The sensor data may include a location of the autonomous vehicle. The oversight server determines that one or more criteria apply to the autonomous vehicle based on the sensor data. The one or more criteria includes a geofence area, a particular time window, and a credential associated with a third party. The oversight server grants remote access to the autonomous vehicle in response to determining that the one or more criteria apply to the autonomous vehicle.

    摘要: Disclosed is a lane change system for an autonomous vehicle. A lane change method performed by a lane change system may include receiving driving state information of a vehicle and outputting a path and velocity plan corresponding to the input driving state information of the vehicle by using a lane change algorithm. The driving state information of the vehicle may include state information of the vehicle including driving information of the vehicle and situation information for recognizing a situation of a surrounding vehicle on the basis of the vehicle.

    摘要: A map database stores data describing a set of connected roads each having one or more lanes, each having one or more lanes. The map database further stores data describing at an avoidance area comprising an area in the map database that an autonomous vehicle (AV) avoids traversing. A routability system determines at least one lane that can be accessed by the AV if the AV traverses the avoidance area, and generates a restored coverage area corresponding to the at least one lane. The restored coverage area corresponds to an area of restored coverage provided by the AV traversing the avoidance area. The routability system computes a score based on the restored coverage area, the score indicating an impact of restoring access by the AV to the avoidance area.

    摘要: A control device associated with an autonomous vehicle receives sensor data and detects that the autonomous vehicle is approaching a railroad crossing based on the sensor data. The control device determines a target lane to travel while crossing the railroad. The target lane is a lane that has available space with at least a length of the autonomous vehicle on the other side of the railroad as opposed to a side of the railroad where the autonomous vehicle is currently traveling. The control device instructs the autonomous vehicle to travel on the target lane. The control device determines that a train is approaching the railroad crossing and waits for the train to pass the railroad crossing. The control device determines that the train has passed the railroad crossing. The control device instructs the autonomous vehicle to cross the railroad.

    摘要: The technologies described herein relate to a domain adaptation system for sensor data. A computer-implemented model is trained using a set of training sensor data to facilitate classification of objects that are in the vicinity of an autonomous vehicle (AV). The set of training data corresponds to a first domain, such as firmware version of a sensor system, model of a sensor system, position of the sensor system on a vehicle, an environmental condition, etc. The set of training data is generated based upon pre-existing training data that corresponds to a second domain that is different from the first domain. Put differently, the pre-existing training data is transformed to correspond to the domain of a sensor system as it will be used on the AV.
