Abstract: The technology relates to determining a source of a horn honk or other noise in an environment around one or more self-driving vehicles. Aspects of the technology leverage real-time information from a group of self-driving vehicles regarding received acoustical information. The location and pose of each self-driving vehicle in the group, along with the precise arrangement of acoustical sensors on each vehicle, can be used to triangulate or otherwise identify the actual location in the environment for the origin of the horn honk or other sound. Other sensor information, map data, and additional data can be used narrow down or refine the location of a likely noise source. Once the location and source of the noise is known, each self-driving vehicle can use that information to modify current driving operations and/or use it as part of a reinforcement learning approach for future driving situations.

Abstract: Detection of crisis situations using multiple classifiers can enable fast and efficient processing of input phrases to determine if an abatement protocol should be executed. An input phrase can be passed through a pattern matching classifier and then through a trained machine learning classifier. If neither classifier identifies a crisis, the workflow can continue as usual. However, if a crisis is identified, confirmation of the crisis situation can be sought and used to further update one or both of the classifiers. If the crisis is confirmed, emergency information and crisis management tools can be presented to the user, among other mitigating actions. If the crisis is not confirmed, a prompt can be presented to the user to discuss the trigger phrase associated with the trigger signal.

Abstract: An approach provides sending captured Superbill image data and output data generated based on results of parsing the captured Superbill image data to an external system which manages Superbill data via a cloud system and a storage service. The cloud system creates parsing rule data for parsing a captured Superbill image in accordance with user operation at a client device. The cloud system obtains captured Superbill image data from the storage service, in response to receiving a notification indicating that the captured Superbill image data has been stored in the storage service. The cloud system parses the obtained image data based on the created parsing rule and generates output data based on results of parsing. The cloud system sends the generated output data and the obtained image data to the external system via the one or more computer networks.

Abstract: A vehicle travel locus transmission system to be mounted on a vehicle includes a GNSS receiver, a vehicle-side transceiver, a locator processor, a wheel speed sensor, a gyro sensor, and an acceleration rate sensor. The locator processor generates, on predetermined cycles, a latest first linear coordinate as a linear function parameter that couples latest first positional coordinates and second positional coordinates on a previous cycle. The first and second positional coordinates are to be acquired on the basis of a positioning signal received by the GNSS receiver. On the condition that an angle formed by the first linear coordinate with an extension of a second linear coordinate generated on the previous cycle exceeds a predetermined threshold, the locator processor sends data regarding the first linear coordinate together with vehicle identification data, from the vehicle-side transceiver to an external device.
