Abstract: Techniques are described for managing redundant steering system for a vehicle. A method includes sending a first control command that instructs a first motor coupled to a steering wheel in a steering system to steer a vehicle, receiving, after sending the first control command, a speed of the vehicle, a yaw rate of the vehicle, and a steering position of the steering wheel, determining, based at least on the speed and the yaw rate, an expected range of steering angles that describes values within which the first motor is expected to steer the vehicle based on the first control command, and upon determining that the steering position of a steering wheel is outside the expected range of steering angles, sending a second control command that instructs a second motor coupled to the steering wheel in the steering system to steer the vehicle.

Abstract: Technique for performing camera calibration on a vehicle is disclosed. A method of performing camera calibration includes emitting, by a laser emitter located on a vehicle and pointed towards a road, a first laser pulse group towards a first location on a road and a second laser pulse group towards a second location on the road, where each laser pulse group includes one or more laser spots. For each laser pulse group: a first set of distances are calculated from a location of a laser receiver to the one or more laser spots, and a second set of distances are determined from an image obtained from a camera, where the second set of distances are from a location of the camera to the one or more laser spots. The method also includes determining two camera calibration parameters of the camera by solving two equations.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for capturing an image. In one aspect an electronic camera apparatus includes an image sensor with a plurality of pixel regions. The apparatus further includes an exposure controller. The exposure controller determines, for each of the plurality of pixel regions, a corresponding exposure duration and a corresponding exposure start time. Each pixel region begins to integrate incident light starting at the corresponding exposure start time and continues to integrate light for the corresponding exposure duration. In some example embodiments, at least two of the corresponding exposure durations or at least two of the corresponding exposure start times are different in the image.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus and a system for multi-module scheduling, capable of solving at least one of the problems associated with the multi-module scheduling technique in the related art, i.e., inconsistency in data inputted to a computing module, and a significant delay or low throughput in data transmission between computing modules. The method includes: reading, by a master process, a pre-stored configuration file storing a directed computation graph; initializing, by the master process, states of the nodes and connecting edges in a current computing period; determining a node to be called based on the computation direction of the directed computation graph and the states of the nodes, the node to be called comprising a node having all of its input edges in a complete state; transmitting, to the computing module in the slave process corresponding to the node to be called, a call request of Remote Process Call (RPC) to execute the computing module; updating the state of the node and the state of each output edge of the node upon receiving a response to the call request; and proceeding with a next computing period after determining that the states of all the nodes in the directed computation graph have been updated.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle includes a detection system for identifying the presence changes in wind incident on the autonomous vehicle, particularly wind gusts. The detection system may include one or more wind sensors, particularly those configured to detect wind incident on the vehicle from a direction that is transverse or perpendicular to the direction of motion of the autonomous vehicle. Additionally, systems may be present that correlate the detected wind gusts to changes in the behavior of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle may react to the detected wind gusts by altering the vehicle's trajectory, by stopping the vehicle, or by communicating with a control center for further instructions.
