Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for operating a vehicle, is provided. The method includes, by a vehicle control system of the vehicle, identifying map data for a present location of the vehicle using a location of the vehicle and pose and trajectory data for the vehicle, identifying a field of view of a camera of the vehicle, and analyzing the map data to identify an object that is expected to be in the field of view of the camera. The method further includes, based on (a) a class of the object, (b) characteristics of a region of interest in the field of view of the vehicle, or (c) both, selecting an automatic exposure (AE) setting for the camera. The method additionally includes causing the camera to use the AE setting when capturing images of the object, and using the camera, capturing the images of the object.

Abstract: A system includes an on-board electronic device of an autonomous vehicle, and a computer-readable medium having one or more programming instructions. The system receives one or more forecast messages pertaining to a track, where each of the forecast messages includes a unique identifier associated with the track, and receives one or more inference messages pertaining to the track, where each of the inference messages includes the unique identifier. The system aggregates the one or more forecast messages and the one or more inference messages to generate a message set, and applies a set of processing operations to the message set to generate a feedback message. The system identifies one or more events from the feedback message, automatically generates an annotation for one or more of the events that is identified, and embeds the generated annotations in an event log for the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for testing and validation of a camera. A device may determine a content object placed in a line of sight of a camera device, wherein the content object provides informational and visual content. The device may capture one or more images of the content object. The device may cause an electromagnetic event using an electromagnetic interference device, causing an electromagnetic event to affect an image quality of at least one of the one or more images captured by the camera device. The device may assign a structural similarity index (SSIM) score to the at least one image of the one or more images, wherein the SSIM score indicates a camera validation status of the camera device. The device may assign an SSIM score between on one image taken without the presence of interference and one image taken in the presences of the interference.

Abstract: Messaging systems and methods for routing messages between network nodes of a distributed computing system are disclosed. The messaging system includes a plurality of network nodes. Each network node includes a shared memory comprising a shared memory region configured to store messages, a publisher, and a first bridge module. The first bridge module determines if a subscriber for a shared memory region of that network node exists on a remote network node, where the remote network node does not include the publisher. Upon determining that the subscriber exists on the remote network node, the first bridging module reads a plurality of messages from the shared memory region, and transmits the plurality of messages to a second bridge module of the remote network node. The second bridge module is configured to write the plurality of messages to a remote memory region on the remote network node.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle navigates an intersection in which occlusions block the vehicle's ability to detect moving objects. The vehicle handles this by generating a phantom obstacle behind the occlusion. The vehicle will predict the speed of the phantom obstacle and use the predicted speed to assess whether the phantom obstacle may collide with the vehicle. If a collision is a risk, the vehicle will slow or stop until it confirms that either (a) the phantom obstacle is not a real obstacle or (b) the vehicle can proceed at a speed that avoids the collision. To determine which occlusions shield real objects, the system may use a rasterized visibility grid of the area to identify occlusions that may accommodate the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating radar systems. The methods comprise, by a processor: receiving point cloud information generated by at least one radar device; generating a radar track initializer using the point cloud information; determining whether the radar track initializer includes false information; generating a radar track for a detected object when a determination is made that the radar track initializer does not include false information; and/or using the radar track to control operations of a vehicle.

Abstract: A sensor cooling and cleaning system for a vehicle includes an inlet that is coupled to an air intake of a vehicle body and positioned to receive ram air when the vehicle is in forward motion. The system includes a passive air conditioning device that is configured to remove moisture from the ram air received through the inlet to produce conditioned air. The system also includes an outlet that is positioned adjacent to and upstream of sensor to direct the conditioned air from the passive air conditioning device toward a stagnation point that is located upstream of the sensor, during the forward motion of the vehicle.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle identifies an intersection, identifies an object in proximity to the intersection, identifies a plurality of outlets of the intersection, and, for each outlet, identifies a polyline associated with the outlet, identifies a target point along the polyline, and determines a constant curvature path from the object to the target point. The system determines a score associated with each outlet based at least in part on the constant curvature path of the outlet, generates a pruned set of outlets that includes one or more of the outlets from the plurality of outlets based on its score, and for each outlet in the pruned set, generates a reference path from the object to the target point of the outlet.
