  • Patent number: 11488252
    Abstract: Systems and methods receive vehicle operating information from an onboard vehicle system, wherein the vehicle operating information includes data indicative of a first amount of time an operator is in active control of the vehicle to the system during a period, and wherein the vehicle operating information includes data indicative of a second amount of time that the vehicle operates autonomously during the period. The systems and methods thereafter calculate an insurance rate for a subsequent period based on both the first amount of time the vehicle operator is in active control of the vehicle and the second amount of time the vehicle is operated autonomously.

  • Patent number: 10984151
    Abstract: Methods and systems described in this disclosure are directed to rendering audiovisual (A/V) simulation of a disaster situation at a facility by artificially simulating the disaster situation. The disaster situation uses a 3D model of the environment associated with the facility. Embodiments of the disclosed system continuously collect data relating to reactions of one or more users to the simulation model. Upon analyzing the reactions of one or more users to the simulation model, the system provides A/V indicators such as an avatar, a virtual teacher, or a virtual user to provide information for responding to the disaster situation. In some embodiments, the simulation model can be customized based on one or more factors, such as an age of the one or users, a skillset of the one or more users, a geographical location of the facility.

  • Patent number: 10824703
    Abstract: Techniques are described for authenticating an individual based at least partly on a tremor signature of the individual. Motion data is collected through motion sensor(s), such as accelerometers, gyroscopic motion sensors, and so forth, of a portable computing device that is being held, worn, or is otherwise in contact with the user. Based on the collected motion data, a tremor signature may be determined and compared to a previously determined model for the user, and an authentication determination may be made based on the comparison. The tremor signature may be used in combination with other information to authenticate the user. For example, the tremor signature may be used in combination with location information and/or other biometric data such as a fingerprint scan, image of the user's face, audio recording of the user's voice, the user's heartbeat, a cardiac electrical signature, bio-electrical impedance, and so forth.
