  • Patent number: 11915696
    Abstract: A digital assistant supported on devices such as smartphones, tablets, personal computers, game consoles, etc. includes an extensibility client that exposes an interface and service that enables third party applications to be integrated with the digital assistant so the application user experiences are rendered using the native voice of the digital assistant. Specific voice inputs associated with a given application may be registered by developers using a manifest that is loaded when the application is launched on the device so that voice inputs from the device user can be mapped by the digital assistant extensibility client to the appropriate application as input events for consumption. In typical implementations, the manifest is arranged as a declarative document that streamlines application development and provides a seamless user experience by enabling customization of third party applications to integrate the digital assistant's voice and behaviors within the user experience of the application's domain.

  • Publication number: 20230417565
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for controlling an autonomous vehicle. For instance, one or more processors of one or more first systems of the autonomous vehicles may receive a signal indicating a predicted traffic stack for a lane in which the autonomous vehicle is currently traveling. In response to the received signal, costs of edges of a roadgraph between the autonomous vehicle and a location of the predicted traffic stack may be adjusted in order to encourage the autonomous vehicle to change lanes in response to the predicted traffic stack. A route may be generated to a destination based on at least one of the adjusted costs. The route may be provided to one or more second systems of the autonomous vehicle in order to control the autonomous vehicle according to the route.

  • Publication number: 20230365159
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for controlling an autonomous vehicle using no block costs in space and time. For instance, a trajectory for the autonomous vehicle to traverse in order to follow a route to a destination may be generated. A set of no-block zones through which the trajectory traverses may be identified. A no-block zone may be region where the autonomous vehicle should not stop but can drive through in an autonomous driving mode. For each given no-block zone of the set, a penetration cost that increases towards a center of the no-block zone and decreases towards edges of the no-block zone may be determined. Whether the autonomous vehicle should follow the trajectory may be determined based on the penetration cost. An autonomous vehicle may be controlled in the autonomous driving mode according to the trajectory based on the determination of whether the autonomous vehicle should follow the trajectory.
