  • Patent number: 10937107
    Abstract: A navigation system includes a processing device programmed to receive, from an image capture device, at least one image of an environment of the host vehicle; determine, based on at least one driving policy, a navigational action for accomplishing a navigational goal of the host vehicle; analyze the at least one image to identify a target vehicle; test the navigational action against at least one accident liability rule for determining potential accident liability for the host vehicle relative to the target vehicle; if the test indicates that potential accident liability exists for the host vehicle if the navigational action is taken, then cause the host vehicle not to implement the navigational action; and if the test indicates that no accident liability would result for the host vehicle if the navigational action is taken, then cause the host vehicle to implement the navigational action.

  • Patent number: 9982415
    Abstract: Provided is a remote control system which controls a work machine from a remote place in order to improve safety and workability and to reduce fatigue of an operator. In the remote control system which controls the work machine from a remote place, a seat where the operator sits is driven to be inclined in conjunction with the machine, so that inclination information of the machine at the time of traveling is provided to the operator to be sensible and the safety and the workability are improved. On the other hand, a large inclined vibration caused by the work of the machine is not transferred to the operator since an inclination amount of the seat is kept when the machine is not traveling, so that the fatigue of the operator is reduced.

  • Patent number: 9406237
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for unmanned aerial vehicle authorization and geofence envelope determination. One of the methods includes determining, by an electronic system in an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), an estimated fuel remaining in the UAV. An estimated fuel consumption of the UAV is determined. Estimated information associated with wind affecting the UAV is determined using information obtained from sensors included in the UAV. Estimated flights times remaining for a current path, and one or more alternative flight paths, are determined using the determined estimated fuel remaining, determined estimated fuel consumption, determined information associated wind, and information describing each flight path. In response to the electronic system determining that the estimated fuel remaining, after completion of the current flight path, would be below a first threshold, an alternative flight path is selected.
