Abstract: A computer, including a processor and a memory, the memory including instructions to be executed by the processor to identify patterns in first high anticipation scenarios based on user identification, wherein high anticipation scenarios include video sequences wherein a first vehicle will be within a specified distance of a first object in a first environment around the first vehicle, wherein user identification is determined by viewing portions of a respective video sequence. A first model including a first deep neural network can be trained to determine second high anticipation scenarios based on the patterns identified in the first high anticipation scenarios and a second model including a second deep neural network can be trained to modify locations and velocities of second objects in the first high anticipation scenarios and output modified high anticipation scenarios.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for automated parking of autonomous vehicles are provided herein. An example method includes receiving, by an automated driving system of an autonomous vehicle, a pull over request during a trip to a destination; initiating, by the automated driving system, a pull over sequence, the pull over sequence including determining if the autonomous vehicle is within a pre-determined distance from the destination; stopping the autonomous vehicle when the autonomous vehicle is within the pre-determined distance; and when the autonomous vehicle is not within the pre-determined distance, initiating a parking sequence to park the autonomous vehicle at a nearest available parking location.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes an autonomous mode controller and a processor. The autonomous mode controller is programmed to control a host vehicle in a partially autonomous mode. The processor is programmed to identify a driver, determine whether the driver is authorized to operate the host vehicle in the partially autonomous mode, and disable the partially autonomous mode if the driver is not authorized to operate the host vehicle in the partially autonomous mode.

Abstract: First and second sets of data are collected in a vehicle from respective data sources. Each of the first and second sets of data are provided for determinations respectively selected from first and second categories of autonomous vehicle operations. A determination is made to take an autonomous action selected from the first category of autonomous vehicle operations. Data is used from each of the first and second data sets relating respectively to the first and second categories of autonomous vehicle operations to determine the autonomous action.
