  • Publication number: 20220042817
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for verifying the accuracy of a map. Information regarding objects, such as roadway or roadway-related elements may be encoded into a map to be used for navigation and/or control of a vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle. In order to verify that the map accurately reflects the roadway or roadway-related elements making up a section of roadway, the vehicle may be driven/ridden along the same section of roadway. A camera feed can be captured of this subsequent traversal of the section of roadway to check if the map includes the requisite roadway or roadway-related elements. The known roadway or roadway-related elements can be occluded from view in the camera feed. Accordingly, if any roadway or roadway-related elements do appear in the camera feed, they can be more easily detected by a verifier, and the processor verification is simplified.

  • Patent number: 10311726
    Abstract: A parallel autonomy interface system can include processing circuitry communicably coupling one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle and one or more displays of the autonomous vehicle. The processing circuitry can be configured to receive output from the one or more sensors, determine if potential danger with respect to vehicle operation is detected based on the output of the one or more sensors, activate an alert in response to detecting the potential danger, the alert corresponding to avatar motion, and enable the avatar to indicate a direction of the potential danger in response to activation of the alert.
