Abstract: A method of operating a motor vehicle includes detecting at least one motor vehicle driver response, producing a perception model based on the detected motor vehicle driver response, and analyzing the perception model to at avoid least one motor vehicle driver response by adjusting a parameter of the motor vehicle. Analysis of the perception model can also be carried out to predict a motor vehicle driver response, in particular during the generation of new control software for the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for testing a virtual, autonomously driving, tested vehicle is carried out in a virtual test environment on a computer. The method comprises installing and operating software of the autonomously driving, tested vehicle in the computer. Installing and operating a virtual test scenario in the computer includes defining at least one variation point, at least one validation point, at least one drive command point, and analyzing the variation, validation and drive command points.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle and a lidar sensor system mounted to a motor vehicle. A lidar sensor mounted onboard the vehicle is operated to detect an object, and to read a nano-fingerprint on the object. The nano-fingerprint may be a passive and invisible structure that can be read out with a laser scanner as a nano-barcode, a nano-QR code, or similar. A detection module extracts, from the sensor data, position data related to the object. The position data may be used to calculate a velocity and/or acceleration of a moving object, such as a second vehicle. A scanning module extracts, from the sensor data, object data encoded in the nano-fingerprint and utilizes the object data to identify the object. A control unit controls operation (such as steering, braking, etc.) of the vehicle utilizing the position data and the object data.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method that models a motor vehicle sensor in a virtual test environment by way of definition. Using a sensor support, a raycast distribution shape, a group of raycast properties, a raycast reflection factor, and a raycast echo, a sensor in reality may be tested in a virtual environment to calibrate the sensor in reality. The sensor support is a virtual sensor support for a virtual sensor model, which forms a three-dimensional or two-dimensional avatar of the sensor in reality, in the virtual test environment. The sensor support has a sensor starting point that is used as an origin for a raycast distribution shape. The method extracts a special application of the sensor in reality in an application case, which is particularly useful for testing scenarios.

Abstract: A test drive scenario database system for highly realistic, virtual test drive scenarios comprises at least one device that generates a virtual scene, a database memory and a control device. The control device has at least one data receiving unit with one or more data receiving interfaces, a configuration unit with at least one user interface and a data output unit with at least one data output interface. The device that generates a virtual scene is configured to display real, test drive scenario data in a virtual scenario, in which one or more parameters of the output test drive scenario data can be changed.

Abstract: A method to manage a parking area by a system in connection with the vehicle is provided. The system is designed to enter into connection with a vehicle that is looking for a parking space, and to assign a parking position to the vehicle. The system registers available parking room on the basis of an entropy calculation, wherein, within a parking area, both an a priori entropy prior to parking the vehicle and an a posteriori entropy are evaluated for a specific parking position, in order for a parking position to be assigned to the vehicle that brings about the lowest possible entropy on the parking area.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for testing software for autonomous vehicles by means of a loop simulation involves hardware in the form of one or more real autonomous vehicles able to carry out autonomous test drives in the real world. In response to a work order given by a user, a check is automatically carried out in order to determine which vehicles, among a plurality of real autonomous vehicles which are able to carry out autonomous test drives on globally distributed test tracks in the real world, are currently available for one or more tests defined in the work order. The performance of the software tests and the test drives is then automatically planned and coordinated.

Abstract: Test cases for autonomous vehicles are generated automatically by using data which have been collected from vehicles participating in public road traffic. A test planning system for autonomous vehicle includes defined application cases for autonomous vehicles. The vehicles are configured to identify test cases with prediction analyses of a reference catalogue of driving situations and the defined application cases, and compare, via a comparative analyses, the test cases and the defined application cases to compile an expanded set of test cases, wherein the expanded set of test cases are compared to the defined application cases to output a complete set of test cases. The system also includes a central database configured to query the complete set of test cases.
