Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to a system for facilitating reverse travel of a vehicle convoy. In one embodiment, a system includes a processor and a memory storing machine-readable instructions. The machine-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to detect a rotational position of a steering wheel of a lead vehicle of a convoy when the lead vehicle is in a reverse mode. The machine-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, also cause the processor to select a camera of a following vehicle of the convoy based on the rotational position of the steering wheel. The machine-readable instructions, when executed by the processor, also cause the processor to display an image captured by the camera of the following vehicle on a display device of the lead vehicle.

Abstract: A system and method for limited rate context-based eye gaze encoding includes generating, based on an outward looking camera situated in a vehicle, a first video stream of a surrounding environment to a controller. The controller generates a scene description based on the first video stream and selects a corresponding scene from a predefined list of known scenes. Further, the controller, based on the selected corresponding scene, selects a codebook of encoding and decoding parameters from a plurality of predefined codebooks. Based on an inward looking camera situated in the vehicle, a second video stream of a face of a driver to an eye tracker controller is generated, where the eye tracker controller estimates a gaze direction of the driver. Encoded data comprising the estimated gaze direction of the driver is transmitted over a bandwidth limited channel to a decoder, based on the selected codebook, the encoded data.
