Abstract: Systems and methods for generating a preview stream for a user of a video conferencing service. In some aspects, the systems and methods provide for receiving a video stream of at least a portion of a display screen of a user device and determining whether the user device has been designated as a receiving device for receiving a version of the video stream. In response to determining that the user device has not been designated as a receiving device for receiving a version of the video stream, a request is generated to designate the user device as a receiving device in addition to being a presenting device. Based on images of the video stream, a preview stream (e.g., of at least a portion of the display screen) is generated and transmitted for display at the user device.

Abstract: The present technology is directed to training and the use of a machine learning model to measure the safety of an autonomous vehicle (AV) driving in simulation. An AV management system can run a simulation of an AV autonomously piloting itself and collect simulation driving data. Further, the AV management system can parse the simulation driving data into kinematic and semantic environmental features and output a simulation safety score of the simulation based on the kinematic and semantic environmental features. The simulation safety score indicates a probability of a safety critical event such as a collision or a near-miss between the AV and the at least one simulated object in the simulation.
