    摘要: Directional stimuli are applied to a vehicle operator to enhance situational awareness. Characteristics within a vehicle's external environment may be assessed to determine whether they present at least a threshold safety risk. If so, a type and/or intensity of a directional stimulus to apply to the vehicle operator is determined. In addition, one or more output devices is selected to apply the directional stimulus. The selected output devices may, upon activation, apply the directional stimulus from a same direction as the underlying directionality, in relation to the vehicle, of a potential safety hazard present in the vehicle's external environment. In this manner, the applied stimulus elicits an immediate rise in the vehicle operator's situational awareness, and also immediately informs her—based on the direction from which the stimulus is applied/received—of the directionality of the potential safety hazard within the vehicle's external environment.

    摘要: System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to improving prediction models by compressing and sharing encoded data for partial scene representations about target vehicles. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, by a subject vehicle, packets with compressed partial representations of a latent space associated with different views of target vehicles. The method also includes generating an attention vector about the different views by aggregating the packets for the target vehicles. The method also includes computing, by a prediction model, an addition vector that optimizes data decoding by the prediction model using acquired data from the attention vector. The method also includes training the prediction model using the addition vector to reduce data representations and adapt data compression associated with the latent space.

    摘要: A method performed by an autonomous device includes identifying a current movement of an operator based on monitoring the operator of the autonomous device. The method also includes inferring an intended direction of travel for the autonomous device based identifying the current movement. The method further includes identifying one or more objects in a current environment and limitations of the current environment. The method still further includes determining the action to be performed based on inferring the intended direction of travel and also identifying the one or more objects and the limitations of the current environment. The method also includes performing, by the autonomous device, the action.
