Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for using augmented reality (AR) displays to convey graphical representations of different types of information to a user. The information may be obtained from various sources such as objects and/or features that are dynamically detected by a vehicle or user-generated content. The graphical representations may also be based upon information that may be obtained via the use of crowdsourced AV map data. The graphical representations may be presented in as an AR view in a medium (such as a vehicle windshield) that matches a field of view of a user, thus accurately blending holographic information with the physical objects in the scene.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reducing false positives for generating warnings to avoid potential collisions between a vehicle and vulnerable road users (VRUs). This is accomplished via an onboard vehicle safety system that uses crowd-sourced map data to determine whether a vehicle is capable of performing a maneuver that results in a lateral shift of the vehicle (which may include a lane-shifting or turning maneuver) within a predetermined threshold time period. The ability for the vehicle to make the turning maneuver, among other driving scenarios, may be used to by the safety system to intelligently determine whether a warning or other action is needed to avoid a potential collision with a VRU. In this way, the occurrence and number of false warnings/interventions are minimized or at least reduced, leading to more attentive drivers and thereby improving VRU safety.

Abstract: Lidar produces three-dimensional point clouds. From the point clouds, objects need to be detected and tracked. For example, from the point clouds, embodiments detect what kind of objects is detected, what shape the object is, and the objects current location and trajectory. Each lidar sensor on a vehicle produces a point cloud periodically. The point cloud is input into a deep learning neural network that outputs road geometry, such as road edges and lane dividers. In some embodiments, the other network can also output information about other objects in the environment, such as other vehicles and pedestrians.
