  • Determining autonomous vehicle routes
    Patent number: 11953901
    Abstract: An autonomous vehicle includes one or more sensors for detecting an object in an environment surrounding the autonomous vehicle and a vehicle computing system comprising one or more processors receiving canonical route data associated with at least one canonical route, and controlling travel of the autonomous vehicle based on sensor data from the one or more sensors and the canonical route data associated with the at least one canonical route. The at least one canonical route comprises at least one roadway connected with another roadway in a plurality of roadways in a geographic location that satisfies at least one route optimization function derived based on trip data associated with one or more traversals of the plurality of roadways in a geographic location by one or more autonomous vehicles.
    Type: Grant

  • Determining autonomous vehicle routes
    Patent number: 10656645
    Abstract: A method for determining a canonical route includes receiving trip data associated with one or more traversals of a plurality of roadways in a geographic location by one or more autonomous vehicles. The method includes generating at least one canonical route based on the trip data, wherein the at least one canonical route includes at least one roadway connected with another roadway in the plurality of roadways. The method includes providing canonical route data associated with the at least one canonical route to an autonomous vehicle for controlling travel of the autonomous vehicle on the at least one canonical route.

  • Fuse mounting member
    Patent number: 7683751
    Abstract: A fuse mounting assembly includes an epoxy-bonded glass-fiber core that is surrounded by a resilient sleeve having a number of radially extending members. Attached to an end of the core is a first mounting bracket and attached to another end of the core is another mounting bracket. Each of the mounting brackets is connected to a fuse which is structured to protect a power circuit.
