Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for a vehicle-based cloud computing system (VCCS) for autonomous driving. This VCCS builds world models based on a series of complex scenario data to optimize sensing, prediction, planning, decision making, and control for autonomous driving. The VCCS can execute vehicle control algorithms, train general AI models, and make inferences to optimize autonomous driving. Specifically, it dynamically adjusts driving strategies based on long tail scenarios including but not limited to weather, work zone information, and traffic status, ensuring safe and efficient vehicle operation. Additionally, the VCCS can gather supplementary data from (a) a roadside unit (RSU) network, (b) another OBU, (c) a cloud platform, (d) a traffic control center/traffic control unit (TCC/TCU), and (e) a traffic operations center (TOC), thereby further improving control and efficiency in complex driving environments.

Abstract: This technology provides systems and methods for a vehicle computing system (VCS) for autonomous driving. This VCS furnishes End-to-End models that provide sensing, prediction, planning, decision-making, and control functions. The VCS executes vehicle control algorithms, trains general AI models, and makes inferences from those AI models. Specifically, a computing subsystem of the VCS performs computation methods that train a tensor-centered model and/or make inferences from a tensor-centered model. Additionally, the VCS gathers data from a roadside unit network, an onboard unit, a cloud platform, a traffic control center/traffic control unit, and a traffic operations center (TOC), thereby enhancing the safety and efficiency of autonomous driving.

Abstract: Provided herein is a technology for an Autonomous Vehicle Intelligent System (AVIS), which facilitates vehicle operations and control for autonomous driving. The AVIS and related methods provide vehicles with vehicle-specific information for a vehicle to perform driving tasks such as car following, lane changing, and route guidance. The AVIS comprises an onboard unit (OBU), wherein the OBU comprises a communication module communicating with one or more of other autonomous vehicles (AV), a roadside unit (RSU), a cloud platform, and a traffic control center/traffic control unit (TCC/TCU). The AVIS implements one or more of the following functions: sensing, prediction, decision-making, and vehicle control using onboard information and vehicle-specific information received from other AVs, the RSU, the cloud platform, and/or the TCC/TCU.

Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for a computing power allocation system for autonomous driving (CPAS-AD), which is a component of an Intelligent Road Infrastructure System (IRIS). The CPAS-AD incorporates advanced computing capabilities that effectively allocate computational power for sensing, prediction, planning, decision-making, and control functions to enable end-to-end driving functions.

Additionally, tailored to different traffic scenarios, the CPAS-AD can allocate data and computation resources (including but not limited to CPU and GPU) for vehicle sensing, prediction, planning, decision-making, and control functions, thereby enabling safe and efficient autonomous driving.
