Patent number: 11904770Abstract: An audio notification system for an autonomous vehicle (AV) determines that the AV is within range of a user and emits a sound though a speaker of the AV to notify that the user that the vehicle has arrived. The audio notification system may include a sensor for sensing that the user has accessed the AV, and turns off the sound in response to the user accessing the AV. The audio notification may be generated according to one or more audio options, e.g., volume, pitch, or audio pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: GM CRUISE HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Anthony Galliano, III, Arun A. Mathews, Charlotte Blanc, Pratik Palnitkar, Jacqueline Mary Shannon, Timothy Jon Meador

Patent number: 11904800Abstract: An autonomous vehicle including a vehicle propulsion system, a braking system, a steering system, and a computing system that is in communication with the vehicle propulsion system, the brake system, and the steering system. The computing system can receive an indication an account associated with a passenger of the autonomous vehicle for a trip of the autonomous vehicle includes a predefined parent-child link with a second account. The predefined parent-child link indicates the account associated with the passenger is subordinate to the second account and a parent-child relationship exists between the passenger and a person associated with the second account. Responsive to receiving the indication of the parent-child link and the passenger being the child in the parent-child relationship, the computing system can control the autonomous vehicle to enable a linked account feature that would otherwise be disabled.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: GM CRUISE HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Jacqueline Mary Shannon, Stephanie Olivia Engle, Mallory McMillan, Jessica Davies, Jessica Uelmen

Publication number: 20240025438Abstract: Various technologies described herein pertain to causing presentation on a user interface of an immediate portion of a navigation route of an autonomous vehicle. A computing system of the autonomous vehicle determines whether an object detected by sensor(s) of the autonomous vehicle proximate to the immediate portion of the navigation route are of a type and relative position defined as one of consequential and inconsequential for a human passenger. In response to determining that an object has both a type and relative position defined as consequential, the computing system causes presentation on the user interface a representation of the object relative to the immediate portion of the navigation route to provide a confidence engendering indication that the autonomous vehicle has detected the object. Otherwise if inconsequential, presentation on the user interface of any representation of the object is not caused by the computing system to avoid creating a confusing presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Stephanie Olivia Engle, Mariya Jacobo, Jacqueline Mary Shannon, David Hyon Berrios, Tejeswara Reddy Pogula, John Logan Anderson, Divya Thakur

Patent number: 11292490Abstract: An autonomous vehicle including a sensor system that outputs a sensor signal indicative of a condition of the autonomous vehicle. The vehicle also includes a user interface device with a display. A computing system determines, based upon a profile of the passenger, that support is to be provided pictorially to the passenger when the support is provided to the passenger. The computing system further detects occurrence of an event that has been identified as potentially causing discomfort to the passenger. The computing system yet further sets a predefined pictorial support message defined in an account corresponding to the event maintained in a database prior to occurrence of the event as a pictorial support message to be presented to the passenger. The computing system additionally causes the display to present the pictorial support message, wherein the pictorial support message solicits feedback from the passenger of the autonomous vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2021Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Jacqueline Mary Shannon, Stephanie Olivia Engle
