Abstract: A system for mitigating thermal runaway in a battery-powered electric vehicle (EV). The system includes a gas sensor configured to measure a level of at least one type of gas in a vicinity of a battery of the EV, a thermal event detector configured to determine, based on the measured level of the at least one type of gas, that the battery is experiencing out-gassing, and a communications interface configured to transmit an alert to a fleet management system regarding the out-gassing of the battery. The fleet management system alters an assignment of the EV in response to the out-gassing of the battery.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automated detection and disinfection of microbes in autonomous vehicles, to prevent possible transmission of diseases or illness to subsequent users. Automated detection and disinfection of a vehicle includes autonomously scanning various parts of the autonomous vehicle for microbes, selecting a disinfectant based on detected microbes, and autonomously disinfecting at least a portion of the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to detecting cosmetic damage on a vehicle. The disclosed technology can have one or more processors, a projector system in communication with the one or more processors, the projector system configured to project electromagnetic radiation onto at least one surface of a vehicle and receive, via one or more sensors, sensor data containing at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation reflected off of the at least one surface of the vehicle, memory storing computer-readable instructions, the instructions effective to cause the one or more processors to receive the sensor data from the projector system, analyze the sensor data based on the reflected electromagnetic radiation and an expected pattern of reflected electromagnetic radiation, and determine if the vehicle has cosmetic damage on the at least one surface of the vehicle based on the analysis of the sensor data. Methods and machine-readable media are also provided.

Abstract: A light inspection system positions an autonomous vehicle (AV) in a field of view of a camera such that the camera captures an image of a light of the AV. The light inspection system instructs a camera to capture an image of the light while the light is switched on. The light inspection system receives the captured image, determines a luminance of the light based on the image, and determines to service the light in response to the luminance of the light being below a threshold luminance.
