Abstract: A method includes an initial trailer health assessment and real-time trailer health monitoring. The initial trailer health assessment includes autonomous pre-trip maneuvers of the autonomous vehicle during a first time period, and detecting a pre-trip vehicle health condition. A vehicle health score is calculated based on the pre-trip vehicle health condition. If the vehicle health score is at least a threshold value, real-time trailer health monitoring is performed during a trip of the autonomous vehicle during a second time period, by actively monitoring vehicle dynamics data and/or image data associated with the autonomous vehicle, to determine a fault condition of the autonomous vehicle. If the fault condition meets a first criteria, a control parameter and/or a travel plan of the autonomous vehicle is adjusted. If the fault condition meets a second criteria different from the first criteria, a signal is sent to cause the autonomous vehicle to cease movement.

Abstract: A machine-learned architecture for estimating the cost to operate from a prediction node of a tree search for exploring candidate operations for controlling a vehicle may be trained using a loss function that mitigates the deleterious effects of training without infinitely searching the tree or reaching convergence. A first loss of the loss function term may be based on a difference between the architecture's estimated cost to go from a starting position and the cost to go from the starting position determined by the search so far. A second loss term may be based on the difference between the model's estimate of the cost to go from a predicted state and may be adjusted based on (1) weighting based on a convergence-based weight and/or (2) adjusting the second loss term using an approximation of a difference between a cost of the current cheapest action and the globally optimal action.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for safely transitioning a vehicle from a first trajectory to a second trajectory. In response to a safety event, for example, a vehicle may switch from being controlled in accordance with a nominal planner output (a planned trajectory) to a safety, or stopping, trajectory. In some examples, in response to the vehicle overcoming the safety event, a safe and smooth return to a nominal planning system output trajectory (an updated planned trajectory) may be determined and used to cause the vehicle to continue along to a previously determined destination.

Abstract: The driver assist ECU determines whether there is another vehicle on the collision course based on the other vehicle information. ECU determines whether a predetermined execution condition for executing the collision avoidance assist operation is satisfied when it is determined that there are other vehicles on the collision course, and starts executing the collision avoidance assist operation when it is determined that the execution condition is satisfied. ECU changes the execution condition based on an approaching direction determination result as to whether the other vehicle on the collision course is approaching from the direction of the driver's seat of the host vehicle or is approaching from the direction on the passenger seat of the host vehicle, and a visual perception determination result as to whether the probability that the driver of the host vehicle has visually perceived the other vehicle on the collision course is high.
