Chen Steve Xie has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11618451
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for predicting yield behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. An autonomous vehicle located at a first road segment connecting to an intersection having a stop sign can detect a first vehicle approaching the intersection from a second road segment connecting to the intersection. Using a model indicating an average yield location and yield time where both are specific to the second road segment connecting to the intersection, the autonomous vehicle can predict that the first vehicle will yield at the average yield location that is specific to the second road segment.

  • Patent number: 11619945
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for mapping historical information about behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. Based on the mapped historical information, a prediction is determined about a behavior of an object proximate to an autonomous vehicle at the location, where the prediction is based on a statistical analysis of the historical information that is applied to the object. One or more behaviors of the AV are affected based on the prediction.

  • Publication number: 20230071224
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for predicting behaviors of objects (vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.) at a location. A model descriptive of a possible object behavior can be received by an autonomous vehicle, where the model provides conditional predictions about a future behavior of an object based on a position of the object in a lane. The autonomous vehicle can detect the position of a specific object in the lane, and the model can then be applied to determine probabilities of a future behavior of the specific object.
