  • Patent number: 11858514
    Abstract: Techniques for top-down scene discrimination are discussed. A system receives scene data associated with an environment proximate a vehicle. The scene data is input to a convolutional neural network (CNN) discriminator trained using a generator and a classification of the output of the CNN discriminator. The CNN discriminator generates an indication of whether the scene data is a generated scene or a captured scene. If the scene data is data generated scene, the system generates a caution notification indicating that a current environmental situation is different from any previous situations. Additionally, the caution notification is communicated to at least one of a vehicle system or a remote vehicle monitoring system.

  • Patent number: 11853068
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a safety margin by which to limit trajectory(ies) generated by a vehicle control system such that the vehicle will not exceed the safety margin more than a target occurrence rate. The techniques may include determining a first spectrum associated with trajectory data generated by one or more vehicles, generating a model of a vehicle, and determining a spectrum of an error signal based at least in part on the model and the first spectrum. Determining the safety margin may be based at least in part on the spectrum of the error signal and a target occurrence rate. Operation characteristics of components of the vehicle (e.g., controller, steering actuator) may be tuned based at least in part on the model, first spectrum, and/or second spectrum. The techniques enable determining safety margins for untested vehicles and/or for different operating states of a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11829742
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for container-based server environments. In some implementations, a server environment is provided using a plurality of containers that provide instances of different software modules. The plurality of containers includes a first container running a first software image of a particular software module. Various operations can be performed in response to determining that an updated software image is available for the particular software module. For example, execution is started for a second container that provides an instance of the updated software image. Incoming requests are to the second container while continuing to process, using the first container, one or more requests that were received before starting execution of the second container. In response to determining that a level of activity of the first container is below a threshold, the execution of the first container is stopped.

  • Patent number: 11810365
    Abstract: Techniques for modeling the probability distribution of errors in perception systems are discussed herein. For example, techniques may include modeling error distribution for attributes such as position, size, pose, and velocity of objects detected in an environment, and training a mixture model to output specific error probability distributions based on input features such as object classification, distance to the object, and occlusion. The output of the trained model may be used to control the operation of a vehicle in an environment, generate simulations, perform collision probability analyses, and to mine log data to detect collision risks.
