    摘要: Systems and methods for controlling the motion of an autonomous are provided. In one example embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes obtaining data associated with an object within a surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle. The data associated with the object is indicative of a predicted motion trajectory of the object. The method includes determining a vehicle action sequence based at least in part on the predicted motion trajectory of the object. The vehicle action sequence is indicative of a plurality of vehicle actions for the autonomous vehicle at a plurality of respective time steps associated with the predicted motion trajectory. The method includes determining a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the vehicle action sequence. The method includes causing the autonomous vehicle to initiate motion control in accordance with at least a portion of the motion plan.

    摘要: Systems and methods are directed to providing speed limit context awareness during operation of an autonomous vehicle. In one example, a computer-implemented method for applying speed limit context awareness in autonomous vehicle operation includes obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more computing devices, a plurality of features descriptive of a context and a state of an autonomous vehicle. The method further includes determining, by the computing system, a context response for the autonomous vehicle based at least in part on a machine-learned model and the plurality of features, wherein the context response includes a derived speed constraint for the autonomous vehicle. The method further includes providing, by the computing system, the context response to a motion planning application of the autonomous vehicle to determine a motion plan for the autonomous vehicle.

    摘要: An on-demand transportation management system can receive transport requests in connection with an on-demand transportation service, each transport request indicating a start location and a destination. The system can determine a set of candidate vehicles to service each transport request, and can further determine a non-trip risk value for servicing the transport request. The system may then select an optimal vehicle in the set of candidate vehicles based at least in part on the non-trip risk value.

    摘要: An on-demand transportation management system can collect vehicle fleet utilization data corresponding to human-driven vehicles (HDVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs) operating within a given region in connection with an on-demand transportation service. The on-demand transportation management system can then establish a set of selection priorities for respective areas of the given region based on the vehicle fleet utilization data, each selection priority indicating whether a respective area of the given region is to favor HDVs or AVs for servicing transport requests.

    摘要: A virtual reality system is disclosed that provides autonomous vehicle (AV) sensor data to applications such as games and augmented reality overlays to enhance experiences for riders in the autonomous vehicle. Virtual reality headsets offer users unique and interesting experiences, but when used in a changing environment such as a moving vehicle, external stimuli can impair the virtual reality experience. AV sensors can predict these stimuli so that applications can take measures to reduce their impacts on virtual reality experiences. In addition, sensors can include cameras that send live video feeds to virtual reality devices to render improved views of the environment around the AV and of landmarks in a city. Furthermore, virtual reality devices can take advantage of the AV's computing resources in order to offer better performance and more features to applications.
