Abstract: A method of generating an output trajectory of an ego vehicle is described. The method includes extracting high-level features from a bird-view image of a traffic environment of the ego vehicle. The method also includes generating, using an automaton generative network, an automaton including an automaton state distribution describing a behavior of the ego vehicle in the traffic environment according to the high-level features. The method further includes generating the output trajectory of the ego vehicle according to extracted bird-view features of the bird-view image and the automaton state distribution describing the behavior of the ego vehicle in the traffic environment.

Abstract: Provided herein are conductive glass-metal compositions, as well as methods of making and using such compositions. In one example, the compositions include gold (Au) doped lithium-borate glasses shown to exhibit a transition from ionic to electronic conduction within the same sample. This is achieved via appropriate heat treatment, and particularly by heat treatment after annealing, wherein the post-annealing heat treatment is performed at temperatures below the glass transition temperature (Tg). The methods described herein are believed to introducing polarons formed from the trapping of electrons at partially ionized gold atoms. This unique electrical response provides new functionality to this class of nanocomposites. Additionally, increased thermal conductivity can be provided to an otherwise low conductive glass composition using the inventive methods and other subject matter provided herein.
