  • Patent number: 11858503
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can determine a road segment. A set of features associated with the road segment can be determined based at least in part on data captured by one or more sensors of a vehicle. A level of similarity between the road segment and each of a set of road segment types can be determined by comparing the set of features to features associated with each of the set of road segment types. The road segment can be classified as a road segment type based on the level of similarity. Scenario information associated with the road segment can be determined based on the classified road segment type.

  • Patent number: 11688164
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can receive a geometric map and a semantic map associated with a geographic area, the semantic map comprising semantic data associated with vehicle navigation. A first semantic position estimate associated with a first piece of semantic data contained in the semantic map is generated based on semantic data location information associated with the first piece of semantic data. A final position for the first semantic position estimate is received. One or more three-dimensional semantic labels are applied to the geometric map based on the final position of the first semantic position estimate. A warped semantic map is generated. Generating the warped semantic map comprises warping the semantic map based on the one or more three-dimensional semantic labels.

  • Publication number: 20220051165
    Abstract: A method and system may generate a quality control profile to indicate an expertise level and one or more skills of a teleoperator(s). The control center evaluates optimization criteria for a workflow to assign performance of microtasks of the workflow to select teleoperators from a pool of teleoperators. Each teleoperator accesses teleoperation functionality for remote control of a plurality of types of equipment at one or more defined geographic areas and each teleoperator is remotely located from the defined geographic areas. The control center generates queues for each of the select teleoperators that include corresponding assigned microtasks.
