  • Publication number: 20250182321
    Abstract: Multi-object tracking in autonomous vehicles uses both camera data and LiDAR data for training, but not LiDAR data at query time. Thus, no LiDAR sensor is on a piloted autonomous vehicle. Example systems and methods rely on camera 2D object detections alone, rather than 3D annotations. Example systems/methods utilize a single network that is given a camera image as input and can learn both object detection and dense depth in a multimodal regression setting, where the ground truth LiDAR data is used only at training time to compute depth regression loss. The network uses the camera image alone as input at test time (i.e., when deployed for piloting an autonomous vehicle) and can predict both object detections and dense depth of the scene. LiDAR is only used for data acquisition and is not required for drawing 3D annotations or for piloting the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20250147506
    Abstract: Systems and methods for repositioning autonomous vehicles are disclosed. The systems and methods facilitate moving vehicles of a fleet of vehicles into more advantageous locations. For example, autonomous vehicles can be moved from positions where a vehicle would be difficult to access by a user and/or be less likely to be used by a user to positions that provide easier access by a user and/or make the vehicle more likely to be used.

  • Publication number: 20250110264
    Abstract: A method for providing a route in response to a request includes receiving a request for a route, comprising a start location and an end location. The method further includes determining a source based at least in part on the request and obtaining route segments from the source. Additionally, the method includes generating a suggested route, comprising a plurality of the route segments, and transmitting the suggested route in response to the request. The suggested route is generated based at least in part on the start location, the end location, and the route segments. Systems for carrying out the method are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240416967
    Abstract: A novel roof-top autonomous vehicle control system for converting a non-autonomous vehicle into an autonomous vehicle includes a weatherproof housing that removably attaches to the roof of a host vehicle. The housing supports modular attachment of various sensors, receivers, computers, and other electrical components that can be installed, removed, and/or interchanged without disrupting the initial calibration thereof. In a particular embodiment, various internal electrical components of the system are mounted on a tray which can be mounted in, and removed from, the housing without disrupting the initial calibration of the various sensors. In a more particular embodiment, the housing includes a plurality of removable panels and windows that provide access to the inside of the housing.
