  • Patent number: 11852492
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle may access portions of a map to maneuver a roadway. The map may be split into one or more levels that represent different regions in space. For example, an overpass may be represented by one level while the road below the overpass may be on a separate level. A vehicle traveling on a particular level may use map data that is associated with that level. Furthermore, if the vehicle travels through a warp zone, it may transition from the current level to a destination level and thus begin to use map data associated with the destination level.

  • Publication number: 20230386338
    Abstract: Example systems and methods allow for reporting and sharing of information reports relating to driving conditions within a fleet of autonomous vehicles. One example method includes receiving information reports relating to driving conditions from a plurality of autonomous vehicles within a fleet of autonomous vehicles. The method may also include receiving sensor data from a plurality of autonomous vehicles within the fleet of autonomous vehicles. The method may further include validating some of the information reports based at least in part on the sensor data. The method may additionally include combining validated information reports into a driving information map. The method may also include periodically filtering the driving information map to remove outdated information reports. The method may further include providing portions of the driving information map to autonomous vehicles within the fleet of autonomous vehicles.

  • Patent number: 11831868
    Abstract: A vehicle may receive one or more images of an environment of the vehicle. The vehicle may also receive a map of the environment. The vehicle may also match at least one feature in the one or more images with corresponding one or more features in the map. The vehicle may also identify a given area in the one or more images that corresponds to a a portion of the map that is within a threshold distance to the one or more features. The vehicle may also compress the one or more images to include a lower amount of details in areas of the one or more images other than the given area. The vehicle may also provide the compressed images to a remote system, and responsively receive operation instructions from the remote system.

  • Patent number: 11781056
    Abstract: A slurry composition that includes (A) a solvent, (B) a suspension aid, (D) an alkoxylated fatty amine, (E) an active ingredient, and optionally (C) a polar activator. The slurry composition may be formulated with up to 75 wt. % of the active ingredient (E), based on a total weight of the slurry composition, and remain as a pumpable and stable suspension. A concentrated slurry base is also disclosed which includes the solvent (A), the suspension aid (B), the polar activator (C), and the alkoxylated fatty amine (D), all being present at a higher concentration in the concentrated slurry base than a slurry composition made therefrom. A method of treating a subterranean formation is also disclosed, whereby the slurry composition is mixed with an aqueous fluid to form a treatment fluid, and the treatment fluid is introduced through a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation.
